These shirts will be advance orders so.....
Anyone who hasn't let me know what size they want should speak up now.

Please post here or email me with your requests.

**Payable at the Gathering** If you can't make it to the CRA 2011 gathering but would still like to make a donation, you can PayPal your money to Kurt.

I have set up a link for "The Cleatus & Karl Show" donations on the
WEBSITE.

This should make it easier to donate if you choose to to use "PayPal".

Thanks for your contributions to this very worthy cause.

Brian, you sure can. The park is open to visitors and we would be glad to have you come and take a look at the event.

You are also welcomed to stay for the Saturday evening "pitch-in" dinner.

Brian, take your time and don't "short cut" things.

By July, you could have it "Campable" for the gathering. Many of our teardrops are "almost" finished, but it is an ongoing job to get it the way you like it.

If it's not "completely finished" it's not a problem.

Keep an eye on the campground "Loop "B" (sites 126-189) to see if it is filling up.

You could make a reservation in the "overflow" area (Loop "B") just so you have something before it's completely full.

Good luck on the build.

There is a new link to the "Uncle Cleatus & Karl Show" from the web site.

The new link will take you to the "Story" that started the Charity Challenge

An excerpt from an E mail I received today........

Firewood: Bring it Debarked, Buy it Stamped and Burn it All
To help conserve the forest resources on DNR properties, we have developed a new firewood policy that requires you to remove the bark from any firewood that you bring from home. You can also purchase firewood bearing a state or federal compliance stamp, or bring scrap kiln-dried construction lumber. The emerald ash borer has now invaded at least five of our state parks and reservoirs, and is likely to be found in more. All of those infestations have come through firewood that carried EAB. Our goal with this policy is to work to keep out the NEXT bad bug before it reaches us

Well unfortunately, It seems that this thing is going to have to run its coarse. Commercial logging is probably as big a problem or even worse than the firewood. It almost sounds like they are giving up on EAB.
