Happy Thanksgiving, Friends of Knappton Cove! We are especially thankful this year to Chris Nuttall of Golden Heart Plumbing for taking on the challenge of the vintage plumbing in the Pesthouse and getting our toilet up and running just in time for World Toilet Day! World Toilet Day is an official United Nations international observance day on 19 November to inspire action to tackle the global sanitation crisis. We're not making this up--just Google it and see what action steps you can take! The hummingbird is the symbol this year to encourage us to all do something--however small--to improve sanitation and protect each other. Did you know that hummingbirds instinctively keep their nests free from bodily waste to protect their young? We've observed some hummingbirds at the Quarantine Station, so we must be on the right track! Thank you to all who donated to our Plumbing Fund--you're helping to preserve this site in a good, clean way ❤️ Look for our annual newsletter next month and enjoy your holiday!

The weather is indeed "horriable" today just in time for our annual "Horriable Day" Open House (1-4 pm) when we remember the journal entries remarking on the weather. So, put on your raincoat and join us for some hot cider and explore history where it happend! We also honor Veterans today, noting that the Expedition was a military expedition, appointed by President Thomas Jefferson.
An added bonus this year is the return of the salmon to the creek beside the station--see the short video taken of them on Thursday!
