A truck isn’t going to cut it in the snow on the way up to haystack. Chains or not. In this case my guess is that it’s snowmobiles/equivalent or waiting a little bit till there’s some more melt and you can drive up. Nigel

I do have friends with snowcats I can call as needed, but this road tends fill in with snow making for steep side-hilling. This is difficult to navigate with the snowcat. A snowmobile with experienced operator is probably more appropriate. Regardless of timeline, we need a PM to make sure everything is ready and it happens. Tom
Has a project manager been identified yet for this project? If not, then I respectfully submit myself for consideration for the PM and/or work party roles. Thanks Mike KG7WFV On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 6:18 PM, Tom Hayward <tom@tomh.us> wrote:

Great, thanks Mike! Your process will need to go something like this: 1. Ensure replacement parts have been ordered and staged. I believe Nigel has been working with Rob on this so far, so I would check with them for a status. 2. Wait for snow to melt. There is a camera up there that can be used to assess snow levels. Bart can either give you access to this camera or give you snow level reports. (The cam stream is available here, but you can't aim it from this page: http://stream.westin.hamwan.net/ ) 3. Gather volunteers and schedule a work party. Tom KD7LXL On Tue, Apr 24, 2018 at 9:11 AM, Mike Dunn <ml000-0014@well-dunn.com> wrote:

Hello everyone, Just as an update to this thread, the snow appears to be starting to melt on Haystack. It might still be too early to set a date, but we are definitely getting closer. I wanted to send out a quick note and let everyone know the we are still looking for a few volunteers. In particular, we are looking for some one with a vehicle that can make it to the summit. Please let me know if you can help or if you can drive. Due to the rough nature of the roads, we are looking for someone with a 4x4 truck or SUV, high clearance and fitted for snow chains. Due to rain and snow, we are expecting some road washouts so deeper than average cuts across the road are likely. Please let me know if you can help!
