There's a wasp nest in the ground between sites 29 and 33. Al said there's a little path going between the sites, and there's a ground nest of wasps. Okay, I don't have anybody on site anymore, so we'll probably have to deal with it in the morning. Okay, that sounds fine. He left a water bottle there to mark where it is. That's very nice. Okay, great. And I don't know if anyone's camping there. I wasn't over there. Yeah, I'm not sure either. Chances are maybe not, but I guess we don't know for sure. Yeah, I can ride over there and check if you want. Well, if you don't mind doing that, at least make people aware, you know, especially if there's somebody who's allergic. No problem. And actually I can ask (name withheld) about it as well. Okay, that sounds good. I don't know if we've got any wasp spray in the back of the buildings, the shower buildings. Usually it's on the trucks and things are locked up and everybody's gone. But you could just double check and see if there's anything. There might even be something at the visitor center that, you know, utility room isn't part of the alarm system, and that's the same key that you use for the campground buildings. Okay, so you're saying if we could find some spray, we could try it ourselves? You could try depending on how, you know, if you're allergic or not or if anybody's camping in that area, but it'd be better to spray it more towards dusk. Okay, actually, (name withheld) is allergic. So, uh, do, let me ask if something... Be clearing the residence. Said 24-605.
