Fish and Game so generously offered to let our Park’s Reach the Beach team use their Owl Brook Hunter Education Center so we could figure out our plan of attack for Reach the Beach. Tucked away in the middle of the Holderness wilderness, this facility could have put in their directions… “Just when you think you’ve gone too far – keep going!” Fish and Game must have their own team in the Reach the Beach because when we arrived the doors were locked and it was clear that they weren’t going to open. Being the resourceful and adaptable bunch that we are and being that we were in the middle of nowhere on a hot, buggy, muggy evening we took over their archery course and decorated their picnic tables with bug spray.
At that point we were 30 minutes late, outside with impending rain, and we were the picnic for a batch of newly hatched mosquitoes to talk about how to prepare our team for Reach the Beach.
See what was really going through our minds…
