Rush Lake Fence

[RickHeninger]

Que bueno! El idioma del UWA official, ya es Espanol! El idioma buena de los cielos!

I echo what Marty said... Almost all of the money that exists in the account, which really isn't all that much relatively, is excess from the years of windsurfers paying for the Rocky Point Key... (a number of those windsurfers are now kiteboarders too, but the percentage is relative).

So, I think that in this instance, depending on how expensive the fence might be... We might need to either buck up and make donations to a fund for this... Or get some serious membership renewals from everybody in the UWA... If you haven't paid, remember, you can go onto the website to renew...

At the UWA meeting we had around 60 memberships paid...

Thx to all working on this. Les, Marty, Todd, Jon, et al.

I talked to Randy today,
The cows are getting across the lake. This is the only reason for the fence,.
Something will need to be done about the situation soon.
I have requested that the fence go north and south, and that the east/west short fence will/did not accomplish much.
He agreed. The property is his and it is his option, but he sounds accommodating, especially if we help out.

I mentioned we have limited funds, but lots of people that could help. No dates yet, but it will be soon.
Kiters and Windsurfers, keep posted. I Will post any dates as soon as I know.
I feel this should be a joint windrider effort, the next issue may be windsurf related, and need the kiters to help out also.

TROOPS,,,GET READY TO RALLY...

He also can not figure why the water is so low, his poterty in the hills east of Rush,
has water running in creeks that have not been running for years.

Anyone been out to Rush lately?

Marty,

Tom Smart mentioned to me a little while back that he has a bunch of extra barbed wire. There's a start. As far as volunteers helping out... Pick the time... You are the Rush Fence Project Committe Organizational Chairman Guy... That's official... So, we will jump at this when you call the time...

We don't have the funds to pay for the materials... But, if he comes up with materials... I'm sure there will be more than enough help... Although, if somebody needs an appendix removed, you can have 2000 volunteers to help, but if not one of them is a doctor, you're in the same spot! So I guess we need to see what exactly is going to be done and then call out the troops...

We'll send out emails whatever to get people to help... But probably the numbers needed to help would be easily rounded up via word of mouth. Let us know. I'd post a new TOPIC for when you announce the day, time, and procedure.

The plan is electric fencing.

I pushed for labor as our contribution, I "feel" it will be enough, we will have to wait and see what is needed.
The fence will go in with or with out us. The trade off we are offering is labor (and/or minimal materials),
to keep the fence out of the water, its his call because its is his property.
Randy is very reasonable and likes the recreation side of life. I'm confident all will go smooth.

If money is what is needed, We will make it happen. I'm sure people will step forward.
Lot of people on the forum have never seen reason to pay dues, this may be the driving force to join UWA.
I priced electric fencing materials and it is tolerable, the posts are the biggest expence. The ranchers may have posts...
But I'm getting ahead of myself.

More information as I get it.

I have a homemade manual metal post driver and would be glad to operate it and
help contribute to materials if needed. How many feet of fence needs to be installed?
