Intermittent sunshine and seasonable temperatures hovering around freezing made for a fine December workday on the hill. A bit of ice didn't cause any problems on the road, even my little Matrix made the summit with no problem.
Dan Carnevale and I took down a few beech trees that would have threatened the telescope shed in the event of another ice storm. That area has some potential to turn in to a nice little gathering spot.
Kevin Collins and Tom Walker made sure the contents of the shed were ready for winter, checking on our mirrors and removing the batteries for the telrad finders.
Kevin, Tom, Ray Burk, and Steve Pielock provided humorous running commentary on the chainsaw progress as they hauled brush.
Barry Hervieux supported the chainsaw operations and removed his camper from the property for the winter.
It was a three Advil day for me, and I suspect for Dan as well. Dan's chainsaw skills bailed me out of a couple of problems, much appreciated!
The hill is ready for winter… I suspect things will look much different up there by the January work day. Thanks to all who helped out.
