CHIPPING DATE CANCELED

Thanks to the efforts of the Utah State Forest Service we now have very little wood left to chip so the chipping work scheduled on Friday, June 26th, has been canceled. The forest service has been at Canyon Rim this past week building fire breaks and chipping dead wood. This is a direct result of the in-kind hours many members have turned in over the past several years. We have another date set for August, so please continue to drag down deadwood.

TID-BITS

Thanks to member support and hard work; the spring clean-up was a success! Thank you Lowell and Sheila for hosting the bbq.

Mark your calendars for wood chipping next Friday, June 26th. We could use all the help we can get!

ROAMING STEERS: There are 8 black Angus steers roaming our area. Please contact Brent Mitchell at 435-962-0452 if you spot these characters. Their owner wants them to come back home.

HOE-DOWN: Our annual hoe-down will be held on Saturday, August 29th.

WATER LEAK & ROAD REPAIR PROGRESS!

It never ceases to amaze me; the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes at Canyon Rim is incredible!

Carl has not left us yet. He, along with Lowell and John have been working very hard repairing the road on the upper loop and a water leak. That's quite the hole you boys dug! We appreciate your hard work and efforts.

ROAD WASHOUTS

PLEASE BE ADVISED THERE ARE TWO LARGE ROAD WASHOUTS IN OUR ASSOCIATION. THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE LOWER LOOP ROAD ADJACENT TO LOTS 150 AND 151 AND ON OLYWOOD BLVD. GOING TO THE GARN'S AND OLSEN'S CABINS. PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH THESE AREAS.

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF POWER AND WATER.

WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED.

MAIN GATE OPENING THIS WEEKEND!

Boy! I'm always so jazzed this time of year to get the news the main gate will be opening. I love to be able to drive straight up to the cabin in my car!!! The excitement of pull-starting the 800's wanes quickly (especially the older I get!) ...

Anyway, please use extreme caution and care, as the roads are still muddy and difficult to drive through this time of year.

HAPPY SPRING!

WATER SUPPLY SHORTAGE

Lowell has notified us that due to a broken valve, we have a very low water supply. We are being asked to be extremely conservative in our water usage. For members who have a water storage tank, please use them. It may be a good idea to pack some extra water along. The tanks should be nice and full by springtime. Thanks so much for your consideration!

I promise I will not take a bubble bath at the cabin.

FACE-LIFT

If you have pictures, info, etc. to add to the blog, email them to me at: kgutley@comcast.net.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

OUTSIDE FIRES

Due to a recent incident, we would like to remind all property owners, open fires (bonfires) are NOT allowed. The risk is too high for a forest fire and property loss, for which you could be held liable. Outside fires are only allowed in approved fire pits with spark arrestors and with use of extreme caution. If you see a situation which appears out of control, contact Summit County Dispatch (435) 615-3500 or 911. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Using good judgement in having an outside fire is extremely important.

ANOTHER NEW LOCATION ...

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have had to change the site for the Oct. 8th Membership meeting yet again. It will now be at the Whitmore Library (2197 Fort Union Blvd., 7000 South) starting at 6:30 pm. We will send this message out several more times to make sure people note the change. Please do not go to either Tyler Library or East Millcreek Library.

Thank you,

Richard Schmidt
