Thanks for the link Ed. Yes, the SR&RL post on the NGDF has good photos and info. The post was done by WW&F life member Philip Marshall whom I had the pleasure of meeting the day before. Philip spent a good part of Saturday at Sheepscot meeting some of us and seeing the progress on #9 (as well as other projects). We hope he can make it back to Sheepscot more often.
Regarding #3 - I'm a life member of the SR&RL and have donated to the #3 fund in the past. I think a number of people are waiting to see what comes from the lease/purchase talks with MNG before doing anything else. As noted, communication is the key. We WW&FR's are fortunate to have dedicated members John, James and Cindy keeping us up to date on what is happening and what is needed.
