    Jay,

    You may participate if you wish. There should be plenty of work to do in the woods. Jen will not have a single there so we may need horses to twitch to the landings.

    Bradley Teeter would be better to chat with as he and Joe Zorin are working to lay out the cut.

    Do you want me to drive down with the team Sat night and help out on Sun, like I did last year? I can’t remember if I sent the registration in. KNow I filled it out and wrote a check, can’t find it, so assume I sent it in.

    If you don’t need the team I might just drive down Sun without them. Let me know. Thanks.

    Jay,

    You are welcome to bring the team down, that is up to you. I am sure there will be wood to move, but Sunday is a short day, wrapping up after noon time lunch.

    I’ll come down Sat night. Probably be there in time for dinner. I’ll have the team and will help with whatever’s left to do on Sunday. Can I leave my horses in the ties stall again like I did last year?

    Thanks,
    Jay
