May was a quiet month on the Preserve. It rained nearly everyday and so work was slowed way down, but we were desperate for rain. Once again all the waterholes are full, palm trees and green briar are blooming and their scent filled the Preserve.

On our tractor trip to check on Achernar and Hadar (there still have been no sightings of Capella and the 'Mystery Horse') we explored a new road, whih led only to a Mangrove area where we couldn't take the tractor. Then we decided to follow an old road to a beach on the West side of the farm. We had to move a lot of fallen trees, but we got there.
