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.
