Been a Whole Year? (Island Hop 2014) - Post 22

It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year...  The Spring cleanup was canceled due to how late the ice was hanging around in the Lake & Bay; so yeah, first time back in 12 months.

Things seemed, at first glance during our pizza dinner, very much the same as usual.  (Still have wi-fi in the dorms ¡YAY! ~ hey, that was a big thing for me last year.  Didn't have to trek up to the computer lab at 0300 to post these).

More and more of the volunteers are starting to look familiar to me (though I'm still terrible with names), as I've been doing this for a few years now.  (Going through the blog, it looks like 2012 was the first time back after Fishing in 2009.)

(I'm still *REALLY* big on parenthetical statements...)

Signed up for helping out at the Lake Erie Islands Nature & Wildlife Center again this year ~ saw Jackie's name as one of the group leaders, so I thought it would be nice to stop over and see her again.  Plus, It's kind of a trend now ~ 2 trips in a row at the Lighthouse now 2 at the LEICWC, so I can do something different next time!

The water was pretty rough, but not the worst I've dealt with.  Big cold front coming in, temps dropping from near 80 today to a high of 51 Saturday with some high winds.  Good stuff!

Otherwise, the schedule looks to be the same as previous years.  There's definitely something to be said for routine!
