What in the wild wild world of sports is going on here?

Written By Angela Sayre

I heard a bunch of commotion out by Transfer Station 1. Checking the cameras I didn’t see any shoppers. Odd, I thought. A little later I kept hearing it. Again, nothing on the camera.

Ok, guys what’s up? You are keeping me from enjoying the party 😞

I decided to walk into the hammock and found a small gathering around 2 very large hermit crabs. Of course everyone clams up when I arrive… so I snap a few pictures and retreat…

My nosey self just had to sneak back over… and when I did, I saw the above picture. Oh my! A land crab joined the 2 hermit crabs… we really are a Crustacean Plantation!!!
