Our Monolith

Saturday team pants decided to set up a sundial at Robert Crown park

Original Location

we wanted to put the sundial hidden in a clearing surrounded by these bushes

intruders

Unfortunately it was a beautiful day and the park was filled with interlopers. Joe doesn't like people and stressed that secrecy was paramount for what he kept calling the mission.

You Fiend!

It really doesnt look that tall from this distance...

Not seen is this picture is the mass infestation of squirrels found around all these rocks.

pretty pretty pretty

braving vicious squirrel attacks, emma bean found a pretty.

what will you do?

you fail to ford the river. lose 2 pounds food, 1 axle. joe has typhus.

Modern Ruins

the far point past crab cove seems to be made up of concrete taken from previous demolitions.

emmas big on the pig

continuing down the far edge, the upkeep of the park gets shoddier and shoddier. finally at the very edge we find an acceptable clearing.

upright at last

it was just a scrap length of wood from a big box store sprayed blackish grey. but it was ours, and it served a purpose. (and it was like over 6feet long too!) we couldn't dig the hole more then half a foot as at that point the dirt turned to rock. the entire clearing we were standing on was man made.

mark it a 4 dude

a check of the inferior clock (batteries, ha!) tells us that construction was completed at 4pm

Whoa!

having some time to kill we went out on the breakers, the very tip of the park. on the way there we found a dead shark being eaten away by small insects. emma picked it up. joe was grossed out.

SUCCESS!

motion! victory! 5 more rocks to indicate the passage of time

the shadow is us

team pants presents pretty posh posing

end of the day

losing sunlight meant an end to the day. sadly we went back to the park today, just two days later, and it was removed. not knocked over, not thrown aside, but removed. dug up. missing. sad.
