How many meberships are left? If I recall there was a max of 150 correct?

Hard to tell at the moment but over 104.I picked some more applications out of the Skull Creek box & I imagine Greg has a bunch in the TRH PO box.We are fuller than last year already.

That is awesome. Thanks for the information.

Was good to meet you this weekend Juliet.

I know of one more definite - he's just slacking getting his membership paperwork in and there was a family out Saturday that sounded like they were real interested as well - probably add 1 or 2 more to your total.

Well, I am going to Skull Creek this weekend. I have tomorrow off and I think I am headed to Skull Creek in the morning. I'm pretty much a jack of all trades. Is there a list of tasks that need attention at the property?

Thanks,

Ron

Glad to see members chipping in to help maintain and improve the facility. Juliet has printed a list of items that need attention and it should be on the wall by the front door of the cabin. Hopefully she will pick up on this thread and indicate what is pressing at this time.

Thanks

Hey Toby - we met last weekend - I was on the new KTM, Jim was on the drowned Suzuki. Ron wasn't there, but he's usually part of that same group of guys. We're all itching to get our hands dirty, we just don't want to step on anyone's toes. I think I heard you mention you were adding some new trail in the NW corner? Need a hand with that?

Appreciate the offer, adding the new trail is on my 'things to do' list but really want to get the existing trails cleaned up and well marked so new members/ families can find their way around. I know that there are a few other items that were needed which were on the list in the cabin, please feel free to tackle any of those at your convenience. I would recommend putting your name next to the item so that two people aren't working on the same task.
With more people taking on these tasks, it will make a HUGE difference in getting Skull Creek in tip top shape. Even if it is as simple as stopping on some of the trails to remove branches out of the way.
Also want to thank you for helping Kyle last weekend and I hope that Jim was able to get his bike running again! ...And a big thumbs up to Roger , owe you one !

All this offer of help is amazing!
I agree with Toby ,let's get what we have cleaned up first & finish the PMT arrowing. Oh, for some dry weather!!Roll on Spring!
Anyone riding there this weekend be on the lookout for more washouts after all that rain we had yesterday.

Since people have been asking about helping,Toby suggested putting a list up so here is the general plan for Skull Creek.Any other ideas are welcome - it is your club. The more you do to help the better it is going to be.

Work Weekend 13/14 March - This is primarily to Clean Trails.Those who can't make it - there will be an alternate one in June but it will be hotter!!!
Divide every one up between the Trail Bosses who know the property well.With enough people & organization it would be possible to get all the tight woods sections done in a day.The open areas I can usually get with the Kubota & mower.
Hopefully we'll have the place all PMT'd by then so getting around is going to be easier.We also have a few extra trails we want to put in to extend the loops or make them better.
These are other jobs that are on our to do list which can be done through out the year.
