In talking with Paul Olson, we will call at 10:00 AM to check the weather before we agree to groom Saturday - the First.

Wednesday or Thursday Groom?

John- thanks for the blog invite. Below is a copy of my e-mail I've already sent to some.......

Is anyone interested in getting out to groom Haggin Wednesday or Thursday evening? I could leave Butte as early as 1530. Maybe a Wednesday groom would help the Friday crew get out of the cold earlier? I helped with last Thursday’s groom, but remain mostly inexperienced.

Grooming December 23

Because Friday is Christmas Eve, the plan is to groom Thursday 12/23 starting at 9:00 am. Paul

Grooming schedule for week of December 17th

We'll meet at 9:00 Friday morning.  Crew: Ray, John L., and Mark Switek.  Ray will bring the fuel.  Jim Gleason has had to become a full-time care giver, so we won't have him to hard-ass.  We will miss him!  Welcome Mark.

Start 2010-2011 Season

Note Links list added on right side.  Also note: #3 has a broken brake cable setup. Benny Finnicum is trying to get us a replacement, but in the mean time, the brake doesn't work and may even lock up.  If it does appear to be locked, work the brake lever to free it up, or find the cable stub under the hood and pull it out of the sheath with the vice grips you will find under the seat.

John, Ray and I will be there for sure at 8. John C is going to call me this evening.

Friday, March 19 plan

We plan to meet at 8:00.  If conditions warrant, we'll groom.  In any case we'll end the season by storing the implements and closing up the warming hut.  Paul has repaired the broken compacter and will be bringing it back on his gooseneck flatbed.  We'll load the snowmobiles on the flatbed and haul them to Jerry Creek for the summer.
