Okay, so we're a little late making another post and here is some of the reasons why. We have been spending three days a week doing our normal work things like working at the visitor center, mowing grass, and working at the office in Manteo. By the way, we love the work here and the people we work with.

After work, two or three nights a week we go on the beach and watch a turtle nest. Actually, we rig barriers for ghost crabs and aid any hatchlings to get in the water. This lasts until midnight, and those who know me well know that I like my sleep, so the next morning is a late one.

The outstanding cultural activities in Manteo have ended for the season so we've had to find something else to entertain us. That's where the pictures of the bears come in.

We go to Alligator River NWR and watch the bears and spend some time with our friend Bill. One night we spotted fifteen bruins doing their thing. Actually it is a real treat for us nature lovers to see these guys in action.
