We are looking for shipping boxes. Need to be 17” x 14” x 4” in size. Could be a little bigger but not much. Something about the size a large sweatshirt might be shipped in. Anyone have some Amazon boxes laying around? We need about 8 of them.
Thank you in advance. 📦 🗃️

This morning at Discovery Park we weeded the front flower beds - filling an entire pickup truck with weeds and mulched the front bed and all the trees around Shelter 1 (a whole dump truck load of mulch!!)

This afternoon we mulched, watered and put up fencing around the trees at the Deep Lakes Campground!
