This was the write up for today's work party, submitted by Keith Atkins, and pictures below by myself.

hey gang,
today was damp and cool, but the volunteer workers got a lot done. Mike Nash wielded the mighty steel punch all day after working yesterday and driving all night to get here in time to help us all out. He was dragging when he left for the day, but promised to be back early in the morning to finish the job. With the workers hustling above and below the steel structure, it looked like a swarm of industrious ants getting the job done.
Ricker Goldsborough set up his mobile cooker and prepared a gourmet lunch including smoked bbq sausage, chicken and beef fajitas, salsa, roasted corn, and more. kathy lee brought 2 huge cakes; one strawberry shortcake and the other one chocolate. jeff wilson brought a keg of homebrewed microbeer on ice and it flowed on into the evening...all delicious, food, dessert, and brew.
I'd estimate that more than half of the holes have been punched and about half of the decking has been secured on the main central portion of the ramp. man oh man, that radial steel looks fantastic and like a work of art; the decking looks great, too!Here's a list of who showed up to work on the best hang gliding ramp > in the world: james anderson, jeff wilson, ollie gregory, steve lee, kathy lee, david kissick, mike nash, bill colvin, chris smith, ricker goldsborough, mark poling, tom prouhet,eric donaldson, colin hodsdon, clark harlow, nate newkirk,& keith atkins.
We hope to see more volunteers tomorrow...come on down!
