Mountain Extension - Official Work Thread

My turn:  HWMNBN nominates Kielbasa Dave for the task!   

[Philip Marshall]

I know those holes are much bigger in reality than they appear in the pictures, so I agree a scale of some kind would be useful for those who haven't seen them in person.

[Dave Buczkowski]

Unfortunately Mr. HWMNBN, only the president can make such designations. Careful, you might find yourself appointed to another blue ribbon committee.

[Mike Fox]

Scale? Well those grade stakes are atleast 3 feet tall...

[John Kokas]

Looks like a whole lot of clearing will be needed in the future as track gets down to that spot.  Time to call "Rent a Beaver"?   

[Joe Fox]

Nah, we just call in Fred.

[Mike Fox]

It is all cleared through there. We are leaving as many trees as possible from this point North. This will cut down on the amount of mowing, and help meet the criteria for operating near the brook.

[Ken Fleming]

Save the trees for feed stock for our saw mill.  Log trains into mill and flats of lumber out.

[Paul Uhland]

That topography is not quite as simple as I pictured. Should be a satisfying challenge.  

And another thing...how about a hint--who is HWMNBN?
And why??   

[Ed Lecuyer]

who is HWMNBN?
And why??   

He Who Must Not Be Named.

I'm not sure why; you'd have to ask him.   

[Mike Fox]

Excavator will head North Saturday to start work.

[Bill Reidy]

A certain member has had a fondness in the past to offer up my name as a volunteer when various work tasks are announced on the forum.  When that happens, I reply "please do not use my name," and change my avatar to HWMNBN.  It's a Harry Potter reference.

[Fred Morse]

You work plenty hard Bill even if you CANNOT BE NAMED!!

[Paul Uhland]

Thanks, guys. I'll sleep better tonight. 

[John Scott]

I really appreciate seeing Mike's roadbed shots. Those vacant embankments are so enticing.
