We got a great start on the switchberm today and ended up setting 8 of the 16 posts (the biggest 8). The gas powered auger was invaluable given the rooty and hard soil. Being gas powered doesn't mean it's easy though. We'll be working on getting the remaining posts set this week. Stay tuned for work announcements or better yet join the IFP trailwork e-mail list or subscribe to the Illiniwek forum to get them in your inbox.
