We are meeting at 1:00 at the garage at the base of the hill; a couple hours of work, then some riding if you like. William has promised to "light the grill" after that; I think that means he will be bringing some food and beverage as well, but I suppose we can send someone to the store if I am assuming too much.
William is involved in a Kafka-esque struggle to get some heavier equipment there. If he is successful, it may be helpful to have some folks show up earlier to make the most of that rental time; stay tuned for details.
Bring bug spray; hopefully the cooler temps and north breeze will calm them skeeters down, but I doubt it will get rid of all of them.

At this point let's just think not yet knowing if we'll get the 6-way blade for SK650 means somebody in the state is making nice trails for us. We should be able to get good stuff done regardless because we have the tractor, tools, and hopefully more than the few of us who do most of the work.
Everybody please keep in mind that Blackhawk is open to the public for social events and "light a grill" means social event. Light a grill also means I will also bring meat and non-meat brats, some buns, and beer. No complaints from anybody who wants to bring more.
What we're working on is well worth the $35 Blackhawk membership if you like the idea of flow trail and a place where you can learn to fly safely.
Blackhawk membership is important for other reasons. Blackhawk is an IMBA Affiliate Club tied to CORP. You join Blackhawk, Blackhawk gets to write check to IMBA, and that's a check written to CORP. Blackhawk has joined the youth mountain bike effort. Consider the future of your sport and how Blackhawk is adding Mountain Biking to the choices a first grader and family make when they get involved with sports.
Blackhawk is also popular with mountain biking dogs.
