Where We Are

Hi all, Progress! but we’re not there yet. No word from Granite, but Wes (Granite employee and skid steer volunteer) says: “Yes maybe go up there today, I know they had a motorgrader go down and had to get a new one but just got it yesterday.”  So I’ll go by today and talk to Granite about the […]

In progress…

Hi all, We’re in the middle of it now. Feel the patience and gratitude washing over you… Here’s the thing about the skid steer I didn’t understand. I thought that by renting the skid steer on Saturday for 8 hours that we’d get a bonus day, but that ain’t how it works. You rent it for an 8-hour day. There’s […]

It would have all ended up at the bottom of the road… A note about the complaint to Entact. It’s all cleared up. The complainer […]

Change of Plans

Hello all, Paul and Joe I met on the road this morning. You probably have noticed the some piles of material at the bottom of the road. We got five loads of Red River road washout material delivered by Entact, but someone complained. We’re not sure who it was, or even exactly what they were […]

Thursday is Road Day #1 !

Happy Harvest Moon! We’re doing what we can with what we can get… What we are getting this Thursday is 150 yds of Red River road washout material thanks to a special permit from the US Forest Service, delivered by Entact for free.  Thanks to Joe for talking them into it. Joe and Jaysen have marked some prime trouble spots on Llano Road, both above and […]
