Saturday, May 15th. was a wonderful morning to attack the infamous buffelgrass along the portion of Orange Grove Road massaged by SAR/PCA. Fueled by Krispy Kreme doughnuts and coffee, nine members chiseled out the roots of the insidious and flammable grass. They took turns bayoneting the roots with six foot long digging bars, stooping to pull the remains, holding the large garbage bags and advising each other on how to do it better. The work was finished in an hour and a half with no self-inflicted wounds.

Whitey Cole wonders about how many SAR members
it takes for one clump of buffelgrass.



Jim & Rink stuff another bag.



Dave Long has to be careful with his back swing.


Marty, Alice, & Jerry show that
you can earn a halo for good deeds.
