Good morning Commanders.
I'm sure there is plenty to be worked on for this work day.
As Expedition Coordinator I have to be concerned about getting the obstacle course ready for the pow wow as well as finishing the obstacle course. We have 6 - 24 foot telephone poles up at Ron Kroptavitch's church in Scranton. To complete the obstacle course we need to get them down to Camp Berry and secured into the ground.
I would assume that flooding and rain have degraded the obstacles that we have in place. So aside from the work load that the normal workday has there is a lot of work to get this course ready.
I'm open to suggestions as to how to get the telephone poles to the camp.
Also I would love to hear from any of you that could help with the course so that I have an idea of how many will be available. Making 6 - 24 foot telephone poles vertical will take a lot of hands. Also we will need a way of getting to the top of them once they are in the ground to secure 2 - 4X4X14's from one to the other
I don't want to take away from volunteers that the general work day will need.
If the scheduled Saturday is going to be a rainy day then it would be better to have the obstacle course work done on either the 13th or 20th. Point is, we need dry weather to get these structures securely in place.
Also at this time I want to make sure activity coordinators are a go for the powwow: Please give me a yell back confirming you are on board.
