As you probably know we are nearing the end of the year, and only have 3 more workdays to get as much done as we can until the January break. During the September workday Terry Savery mentioned guard rail install a couple times, so its safe to say getting guard rail put in will be on the list for October. The downside to this is both the big auger and the Forest Service augers blew up last workday. So both of them as of right now are out of commission. Even if they were the areas that Terry Savery mentioned about guard rail install are very rocky and not well suited for hand augers anyway. We will be looking to do another equipment rental.
With the Saw Mill re-route we will be focusing on work around getting that project completed for its opening in the up coming week(s). So the guard rail install on RML will have to wait till November or December. Hopefully by then we will have the funds together to get a Bobcat w/ Auger so we can make fast/quick work of the guard rail install, and get other projects done with the bucket/bobcat also.
According to Terry Savery there will only be 2 sections of guard rail to be put up, and that will be done using the 2 new hand augers they have purchased. Beyond that carsonite signs need to be installed, plus trail markers/arrows etc on the new re-route. This will be an opportunity to get in a fairly light load workday with great weather, and get to ride the new re-route before it opens. So lets make this a great turn out!
SCHEDULE PER USUAL:
Breakfast @ Outpost ~ 8AM
Hunt Camp Meet Up ~ 9AM
LUNCH ~ Approx 1:30PM
Wrap up Work ~ Approx 3:30PM
