I already PM'd Kevin in more detail, but Pookapotomus might have nabbed me a spot for tonight, not 100%.  But I CAN'T make it out there tonight, so if you need a spot you can always take over my spot if it was indeed being held for me still.

Just got back from this. Be sure to bring MUD BOOTS! You will need them. The trail was  very greasy on the way out; once the sun came out. Be prepared for this please. Tow straps people.

Well like I mentioned. If I bag a moose the Saturday then I'll have to bow out on Sunday. I won't be able to join you as I have too much work ahead of me for tomorrow. Bagged that moose.

I want the send a big THANK YOU to all the people that showed up this weekend.  We got an amazing amount of fence installed. There is a small section left to do which I hope we can organize in the next few weeks to really finish everything off.  That section is blocked for the most part by fallen trees for now.  We will keep everyone posted - there is only about half day of work left to do.

The snow that dumped in Calgary on Sat did not make it to McLean and we enjoyed sunshine, good ole McLean creek mud and a winch fest.   ;D    I wish I had the energy at the end of the day today to do a final count of posts that went in but it was well over 100 - all wired and railed were required.  It looks pretty darn good. 

We had great feedback from other users of McLean that were out for the day riding and came across our project.  None were upset that had to turn around when we had the trail closed off.  We got thank-yous from them for helping to maintain our trail system.  ;D

I have collected a few extra items from this weekend.
- bolt cutters (red handle)
- smallish shachle with blue paint on the bolt
- one red ratchet strap

If these are yours, PM me and we will make arrangements to get those items back to you.

Again, thanks everyone for coming out and lending your time to this project!  :)

Thank you to all the volunteers that came out from various groups.  I would especially like to thank Kevin, Eric and Dave for leading the project. Great work!

I have an extra hammer that was left in my trailer.
