.:CHIPPING:.
YES, CHIPPING TIME IS FINALLY HERE! THANKS TO KATHLEEN WE ARE SET FOR THURSDAY, JULY 1ST AT 8:30am AND WE COULD USE SOME HELP. $25.00 CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE. SEE YOU THERE!
YAY! SMALL BRIDGE REPAIR!
Thanks to John, DelRie, Bob N., John E., we were able to remove the blockage under the small bridge and reinforce the abutment. We also added rocks along the slope leading to the abutment, which had been undercut by the current, to prevent further damage. We should be safe in letting large gravel trucks traverse the bridge; but please remind the drivers to go slow and obey the weight limits posted for the bridge.

LOWER BRIDGE ISSUES
The recent high flood waters did some serious damage on the south abutment of the lower bridge and may have compromised its ability to support heavy loads. The problem is compounded by trees in the creek and blockage underneath the bridge that is keeping the water level high. So we can ascertain its condition more clearly we need to have several people with waders to clear the blockage and remove the trees in the creek. Then we intend to move a large rock with John's backhoe closer to the bank and add basket-ball sized rocks in the area to divert the stream away from the back of the abutment. We will collect the rocks from the east slope of the parking lot and adjacent areas and using a small trailer move them to the creek.
This will allow us to more clearly evaluate the situation. Until we have completed this work, please refrain from having large loads delivered or having heavy equipment moved over the bridge.
We could use three or four people to assist with this work in addition to the two or more needed to remove the debris in the creek. We have also scheduled chipping for Saturday so if you have dragged wood down to the road, please plan on assisting in that effort. We will meet in the parking lot about 9:00 am to determine how to best distribute the manpower. If you missed the work day and still want to have the $25 credit this is a good time to step up and help. Thanks for what you can do.

WOOD CHIPPING DATE
Thanks to Kathleen Garn's good work we now have a chipping day scheduled for Saturday, June 26th. We plan to start about 9:00 am. If there is a change to that time, we will let you know. If you have been dragging down deadwood, it would be appropriate for you to be there to assist with the work. If we can get help with the work, it will go quickly and be less painful for all of us who intend to help. Thanks much for your help.
NEW SPRING CLEAN-UP DATE
Please note that the new work day will be this coming Saturday, June 19th. I know that this is the day before Fathers Day but hopefully many of you can make it. We will begin at 8:30 for rolls, coffee, and juice (thanks to Judy Forster who is stepping in for Kathleen Gregory) . Work will start about 9:00 am after a brief meeting. We have several important projects in the parking lot and within the association so help is needed. The luncheon will begin about 1:00 or so at Dick and Nancy Schmidt's, lot 102. Please bring your favorite side dish and chairs. Barbeque pork sandwiches and hot dogs and soft drinks will be provided.
I apologize to those of you that made the trip up and did not get the message that the meeting last Saturday was cancelled. It was a tough call and we fully intended to go forward until late in the day Saturday when the storm really hit. It was the first cancellation in well over 12 years.

SPRING CLEANUP REMINDER - READY, SET, GO!
Don't forget that this coming Saturday is the date selected for the Canyon Rim cleanup day and picnic. Hope to see many of you there. The projects we have selected are as follows:
1) We need to finish stringing cable along the upper side of the parking lot fencing. This will require several people and a "come-a-long" rig. If someone has one please bring it. We will also be installing about 10-12 posts along the slope side of the parking lot. That will require 6-8 people to dig holes, install posts and add cement. Bring levels, shovels, bars, and a weak mind and strong back for this project. Finally we need to tighten the cable along the highway and remove some trash that has accumulated.
2) We will be installing new road signs that were made for the association free-of-charge by R. C. Montrone. This will require checking the old posts, replacing where necessary. Leveling some posts and staining all of the posts and attaching the new signs. Bring shovels, levels and bars for this project.
3) We need to add seeding to the slope project along the Northeast side of the lot. If someone has a good commercial type seeder please bring it with you.
4) As usual we have trees that have fallen along the roadways and need to be cut away and stacked along the road for chipping. Please bring a chainsaw. i will have mine there for someone to use. It no longer fits my hand or I would do this project.
5) We need to clean up the association, including along the highway and around the association where boards and other materials have been graciously left by some of our members for others to pick up and take to the county dump. Someone with a pickup could do this project.
6) A culvert needs replaced along the upper road to the parking lot. If we have sufficient person-power, we may do this project too.
7) Sheila could use some help in setting up for the picnic which will be held at Richard and Nancy Schmidts place beginning 1:00.
Finally, thanks to some of the people who have, or will make the work day productive and the picnic fun. This includes John Forster, Kathleen Gregory, Sheila Gill, Richard and Nancy and others. Also, thanks to DelRie Gale who has been working hard to solve issues associated with our water system, including replacing and refurbishing regulators and repairing leaks. Also, thanks to Bill Bowen who has been heading up the road committee Hugh Garrett who has been a big help to Bill.
