Spermaceti Cove (Weeks 4 and 5)

Spermaceti Cove is located north of Plum Island on the bay side and west of the Sandy Hook Visitor Center. After finishing up Plum Island, the Gateway team walked north along roadsides to Spermaceti Cove cutting down tree of heaven and treating the stumps with herbicide. Unfortunately Spermaceti Cove was covered with as much poison ivy as Plum Island. But Team Gateway endured and performed cut stump treatment of 1,608 trees of heaven! So far everyone except Nick has poison ivy rashes and itchies!
