From Cragin Shelton:

Roll-call for the Bill's Hill site maintenance day on July 13th:

Brian Vant-Hull, Steven Hengen, Cragin Shelton, Allen Sparks, Bruce Engen, George Tutor, John Codd, Mark Cavanaugh, Ellis Kim, Mark, Sheila & Bridget Gardner, Joe Schad, Frank Sherman, Connie Philips.

The launch had seen a large encroachment of trash trees and monster weeds. Grass on the top and in the slot was three feet high and littered with heavy weeds. Part of the work crew beat the grass and weeds down in the center, to recreate a launchable slope. Others took power tools to the trees at the sides and bottom. While Bill's is once more flyable, it will take at least one more major work party to clear the sides back to the true tree line, and to take the new trash trees at the bottom of the slot back down. For all those pilots who fly Bill's, bring clearing tools whenever you head in that direction. Come to the next work party day (not yet scheduled). And be sure to provide a cold beverage for the folks who were out on the 13th for your benefit.
