Thanks to help from many of you, we've been making good progress rebuilding the old water catchments in Unit 9, but there's lots more we hope to complete this fall. Our next scheduled work weekends are Sept. 9-10, Oct. 7-8 and Oct. 14-15.
TO ADD ENTICEMENT TO GET SOME HELP ON THE UNIT 9 PROJECTS THE AES AND RMEF HAVE TEAMED UP FOR A RAFFLE OF 4 RIFLES AND 2 BOWS. TO GET A RAFFLE TICKET VOLUNTEERS NEED TO WORK 16 HRS. OR ONE FULL WEEKEND AT ANY OF THE APPROVED UNIT 9 WATER CATCHMENT PROJECTS. FOR EVERY 16 HRS OR ONE FULL WEEKEND WORKED YOU WILL GET ONE RAFFLE TICKET. THE RIFLES AND BOWS WILL BE DRAWN AT THE AES AND RMEF BANQUETS IN 2007.

On Sept. 9, we will continue to work on catchment #372, putting the tops on
the storage tanks, building the apron support and building the perimeter
fence. We plan to have tanks delivered to catchment #258 on Sept. 8 and the
backhoe prep work done on Sept. 9. If these are on schedule, we will install
the tanks and drinker at catchment #258 on Sept. 10. Otherwise we will focus
on #372. These catchments are fairly close together so we will camp in
between and travel to the appropriate work site.
Directions to the camp site are:
Interstate 40 to Williams; north on Hwy 64; at mile post 224 turn right on
Forest Service road 320; east on 320 for about 17 miles to a sign that says
"Bucklar"; turn left on Forest road 311 and go about 4.2 miles until it "T"s
into Forest road 310; go right on Forest road 310 for 5.0 miles. Camp will
be in an opening with large pine trees; you can set up on either side of the
310 road.
The roads to camp are good in all but the wettest conditions; you can easily
bring trailers or 2WD vehicles.
From camp to catchment #372: continue east on 310 for about 0.3 miles; stay
on 310 which turns left;( at this point you will need a high clearance
vehicle and possibly 4WD to continue); stay on 310 for 1.3 miles and turn
left at a junction (you are still on 310); continue about another 1.8 miles
and you will see the catchment about 150 yards to your left.
Useful tools to bring: 3/4" wrenches and sockets; a battery operated drill;
an extra tape measure; possibly an extra wheel barrow. We'll have
generators, welders and most tools so you don't need to bring anything, but
some extras can help.
I'd appreciate an email or phone call telling me if you're planning to come
so we can plan accordingly. I'll be out of town from Aug. 31-Sept. 6, so I
will get back with you on Sept. 7. My office number is (928) 214-1270 if you
need to leave a message.
The elk should be bugling their lungs out so you may want to bring ear plugs
to get a good night's sleep (terrible problem, isn't it!). Hope to see you
there.

Come out and help on some great wildlife projects.
