Many thanks to those who showed up early on such a cold morning to
help with the Boulder Woods upgrades. At 22-degrees, it was extra cold
working with concrete and steel.
These hearty volunteers put 5 DropZone markers in place. Even though
the ground was frozen, they picked their way through the top layer,
axed out a clean opening, and deposited the markers into their resting
places so that everyone can clearly know from where to throw after
missing a mando.
Others were cutting chains and attaching s-hooks to prepare sets of
inner chains for upgrading baskets. With snapping jaws, the bolt
cutter snipped out the necessary lengths and the channel locks were up
to the task of crushing the s-hooks.
Then, with the DZ markers quietly awaiting their inaugural usage, the
install crew returned to the pavilion to tackle the next task. They
draped the chains across their broad shoulders and hiked out across
the frozen tundra looking for those honored baskets that were destined
to be draped with new chains to better capture their prey.
With the last chains installed for posterity, the crew quietly made
their way back to the meeting grounds to pick up their Disc Bags and
challenge 'The Woods' to another round of competition.
Thanks again to everyone (If I tried listing everyone, I'm sure I'd
miss someone) who came out this frigid morning.
No further work days will be scheduled until the middle (or end) of
March. At that time, we hope to have approval for several additional
maintenance projects for which your help will be equally appreciated.
