    A HUGE THANK YOU once again to you amazing FORCers!

    27, count 'em - TWENTY SEVEN FORCers came out to Sunderbruch Park today to clear the way for the new Jubilee Trail Extension...and as most of you have seen by now, this "extension" is basically a brand new trail.

    The route was GPS'd today and it looks like the trail will add 0.85 miles to the current system. Nice!

    Here's who helped out:

    AG
    Augie
    Ben
    Ben's dad (sorry Ben's dad, I can't remember your name)

    25 did 2.5 hours each, 2 did 1.5 hours each for a total of 65.5 hours bringing the total to:

    2012 Total - 95.5 Hours


    Pending next week's weather, dirt work may begin next Sunday so keep an eye out on the Sunderbruch Forum.

    THANK YOU for all your hard work today, everyone!

    Another AWESOME showing by you FORC'rs!



    Face slappers and arm grabbers have been eliminated and Jubilee is one more step towards completion, including the installation of the first "bridge."

    We had new FORC'rs, we had old FORC'rs. There were boy FORC'rs and girl FORC'rs. A few FORC'rs even lost their trail building "virginity!"

    With turnouts like this Jubilee could be complete by the 'Fest!

    Schnaufer 2 hours making bigger messes trying to remove large tree from streambed. Now a dangler so watch out! Ran out of daylight and it started to rain and I was by myself. All Watchout situations for sure. The tree is currently hanging solidly in another tree but needs to come down. Paul and I are going to try tomorrow afternoon to accomplish this.
    ANYTHING can be fixed...how badly do you want it?

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Oh Yeah- I loaded and hauled 3 loads of lumber for this, too. Menards had to uncover the 2x12x20's cause they were burried... Loading and hauling and unloading, I'll call it 2 hours a load- 6 hours.
