Well, I'm embarrassed to say Rich, that I can't remember that. We were so busy those 3 days
and I'm sure that there was work on the days before that. I do remember being on a work
train that we ran with Shay 7 in August and used her to check clearances. There was a fallen
tree not far out of Lyons Lake and we had to stop and use a chainsaw on it. Ted Benson
recently gave me a fine b&W print of the bunch of us working on clearing it.
