Me ,Chris my roomate and good ol' Jim from the QuadSquad were there to the rescue... there was more that 15 piles out there... there was about 30 with at least 6" (or more)of stupid snow on them...

It was a pain in the arse to light these stupid piles... we arrived at about 9:40AM and left close to 17:00... we ended up burning 17 piles..

there is about 10 left...

I had to go to the Health center today because I some kind of crap in my left eye from the smoke and debris of the fires. Good ol' Doctor took care of everything... I only scratch my eye ball. He gave me some drops and I should be good in a couple of days.

Sooo... we will have to do one more trip to finish burning the stuff. It should take about a half day. We could go play in the snow out there... THERE"S LOTS!!!!  ;D

Thanks Ron... ;D


who else can go?

I might not be able to go next time ... May be next Sunday... I'll have to check ...

there's less than 10 piles to burn/move (some piles (3) are too close to the forest and have to be move to the center of the trail)... we have to do it when there is still snow on the ground and the wind is not too strong. It's too dry out there.
