Title: Tree Down -- Sunday AM -- Need Help...
Post by: DrSaw on August 26, 2007, 09:39:39 AM
I need some help removing a big tree and its branch. It is a bit dangerous doing one this size by myself. Location:
If you are going through and finishing the demo1 trail toward golf course, hang slight right up "7 mile hour zig-zag uphill", then a slight left at he closure point that used to lead to tree climbing stand. The tree fell along the long straight-away, right on the log table-top.

No way around tree except hike-a-bike.

Anyone want to help Sunday afternoon or any afternoon / evening (except Monday this week)? we can park at Boy Scout area adn be at the spot in a few minutes.

Any help would be appreciated!

Looks like FPC got rid of the tree that had fallen on the Gorgas Lane TM site.  It's now passable.  Thanks, FPC.

Yeah. I bumped into Pat (head of water dept for Wissy and FOW member) and asked him to Nextel District 3 (who he works closely with) to speed things up. Guess it worked!!
