I think we need a count of rigs with winches on them...I might load up and head out if needed. Other wise it will be me in the pickup.

Maybe reading some of the posts will help. I know I have a winch.

We might not get the turnout like the last one since there are so many conflicting events the same day. Our first priority is getting the wood chips out. So likely 2 or 3 winches would be more than enough especially since even with a winch it is helpful to have one or two extra hands with finding and hooking blowdowns.

I think thats going to be a big issue--is for me in any case....

Thanks in advance for those who will be showing up to work :awesomework:

I have emailed David DNR and told him I would bring my rig with winch, but it can stay on the trailer if it is not needed.

There are a number of other activitiles 2/13/2010, so I hope we do get the turn out David is expecting so we can get a lot accomplished.

I will have winch and rig and one extra body.

Ted if your Jeep stays on the trailer can I borrow your snatch block for the day?

I'll be there with a Rhino and trailer.

Eric, I got a snatch you can borrow, it is older, with a hook on the end of it. But it works.

There was an unbelievable good turn out for this today. We even had the Chamber of Commerce come out with Cookies and Coffee for all the Volunteers. Thanks Chamber for your support of our Support.

Al great deal was accomplished by a lot of hard workers on both sides of May Creek at the two crossings and new plants were also planted at those sites. Other trails along the road back to the crossings were blocked and restoration materials put into place.

Even with all that was accomplished (David Way had crews at other locations also that I am not aware of, because of the great turnout) there is still a long ways to go and much more work to be accomplished, so I hope we can keep getting these great turn outs of Volunteers.

A big Super THANK YOU to ALL the Volunteers that were at Reiter Foothills and Walker Valley today.

Great day indeed!

And those plants were donated by a lady from the horse group who also owns a nusery in Snohomish.
