What a lot of work got done today for rendezvous!  We had a great crew and everyone put in a full 6 hour shift!

The biggest problem we encountered was a huge tree that was holding up a bunch of  “widow makers” (old fallen branches waiting to come down at any time) cracked at the base when we were trying to pull down a widow maker.  That made us have to take down that tree entirely.  What a big job!

So while a crew worked on that, another crew worked on the small section of fence that needed to come out, while a third crew worked on installing a fence that had a tree laying on top of it and still another small crew worked on sprucing up what the Fat Duck had harrowed up.

Duck worked over the horse crap in the fields and while doing that the cut grass from Wapitis bush hogging last week rolled up into little bundles.  It didn’t look too good at that point.  So No Grimace and I went up and hooked up the hay rake and I raked it all into one big wind row.

After the fencing was done, the crew began picking up the windrows, loading them onto trailers and hauling it off.  Probably 30 bales worth of hay went into the hole!

A look at the scene once it was all completed sure made me feel good about the whole place.  Lots more room for trailers, tents and parking and it really looks good.  I made a comment that it looks more like a park than a field!

A great days work!  Thank you to everyone who made it and put in all the effort!
