After the resignations of two members of the Board of Directors, the remaining Board members met at the Elk Hill Work Bee last weekend and appointed Carol Hyzer and Pat Galloup to sit on the Board as replacements until the next election in March 2011. Thanks so much to Carol and Pat for stepping up to help out the organization. Your additions are valuable and greatly appreciated. And, special thanks goes to Jeff Sawyer and Jack Heaton for their years of dedication to the MTRA.

I heard we can not go in the water on the lake Michigan side.Is this true?

I would like to thank everyone for the opportunity to serve on the executive board until elections this winter. I want to thank Carol for going out with me again to finish the cleanup of the trail between Luzerne and 4 mile. I have been up to Goose Creek a couple of times and will have double checked that trail before the September Ride. Thanks to all you that were at the Elk Hill work bee it was very well organized and I had a great time. Please let me know if there is anything that needs to be done or of any issues that you may have.

Thanks,
Pat Galloup

Work at Elk Hill was a great success.
Great deal was accomplished. old posts were pulled. old holes were filled. new holes were dug (by Joe Burrill with a rented bobcat and auger). New poles were put in place by Chuck Fanslow and Gary Randall with their fine personal tractors. Each fence hole was filled with gravel provided by the DNR.
Norm Seppi and Richard Kleinhardt trimmed trees. Bonnie Scott and Helen Meier operated a chipper. Terry Meier and young Gary Randall operated long tree trimers. Larry Kleinhardt and several other people operating tractors.
Other people moved branches and shovels.
It is amazing what this club can accomplish!!!!
Connie Kleinhardt prepared a breakfast fit for kings.
Betty Randall supervised a lunch for all the hungry workers of hot dog hamburgers beans and potaote salad It was so good.....
The weather was sticky and hot. The workers were careful and no one got injured seriously although some were bleeding here and there!
I was proud to see both MTRA and BAck Country Horsemen working together.
The DNRE will have to know that we are committed to this camp ground.

I am looking for a good spot to jump on the S2S trail at Kalkaska. Where do you suggest would be the best place. Also if you know of someone close to Grayling who has hay for sale..Please contact me. gbelcher@casdk12.net
Thanks,
Gail
