Bit – O – Help

Ute Club members,

As most of you know we have been waiting on a promise that we would have help in replacing the damaged culvert at the entrance to our flying site. Well, I received the following answer to my questioning as to when that was going to happen:

Well, I personally feel that the culvert, while being safe for cars, would not be safe for the heavy equipment that we want to get to the field to roll the surface and get it in better condition than it is currently.

So, this Saturday, we are planning a cleanup/ fix the culvert work session.

The tasks will be to pickup the tire and barrel that are mentioned by name in the environmental survey. We need to also pick up the residue from the last burns. There is very little work to do and it should only take us a couple of hours total.

The secondary task will be to inlay the timbers that are by the culvert into the damaged area so as to stabilize the erosion of the culvert.

I am thinking that if we start at 7:00 am on Saturday, and if we can get a few guys with shovels, we should be done in a couple of hours and have plenty of time to fly and enjoy the camaraderie of our fellow members.

Anybody that needs the “field credit” this will be the last chance to work off the field charges for the foreseeable future.

Thanks to Mr. Wilson, we now have the 10 x 20 foot shade awning in place. It was really nice the other day to be able to sit in the shade and visit with the fellow flyers. It made a huge difference in temperature.

Please come out and give us a hand.

Date: Saturday, July the 21st

Time: 7:00 am

Equipment: Shovels, racks, and gloves are all that we need. As always, bug spray. The Club will provide drinks, etc.

Thanks, Wade
