Kevin, count me in for Saturday.  (Sorry, I can't make it on Sunday.) 
I have a truck-box utility trailer that I can bring out if it will be helpful.
Also, it looks like the post pounder transport is handled, but if things change, I could  leave the Jeep and trailer at home and haul the post pounder out with my Envoy.  I'm in the far NW of Calgary.  Let me know which you'd prefer.

Since Gunther and his club members are invited would it be ok to spread the word to others clubs?  I am not a Jeep owner (though I maintianed a 98 XJ for 11 years) but have wheeled with a few folks from this club.

I've PM'd you. It would be great to have more bodies. Let me know what clubs and how many people we may expect  ;D

If anyone has access to a large dump trailer and is available to help Dave with the earth moving a second trailer would be a big help? Please post what you have and your contact info so Dave can get a hold of you.

There are really two projects happening. Moving a fence and some re-contouring and dirt work to solve drainage issues. Dave will need a few assistance to help him but we are going to ask those that are not directly helping with the dirt work to stay clear of that area for safety, as there will be heavy equipment working. We can discuses that more at a safety meeting each morning before we start.

Weather forecast looks to be good for a few days of trail work. ;D

Does anyone out there have any empty wire spools that we might be able to use/borrow to roll wire while moving the fence?

Wooden spools would be best.  Metal ones may also work.  Please let me know!

How much wire?  There has to be a bunch of those hose reels that are empty this time of year (mebbe on sale too) ... just a thought.

We just want to be able to wrap up the wire from one fence line and then move it to the new fence line. Very temporary.  And we're cheap  ;)
