We're just looking for a few last minute volunteers to further share (and lighten) the day-of work.I think we've got enough for control hanging, but if you want to join in the 7:30am fun, you're welcome...Someone doing a shift on the Epunch computer help, and another hand for starts would be esp. helpful - http://dvoa.org/events/vols/vol.php?sked_id=1051 if you want to fill one of the remaining volunteer slots!

It's labeleld 2/8 on the map. Just punch it after #1, and again, after #7, and you'll be fine. As above, keep track of which control number you are heading to - there are 4 lines coming out of that control. :)

Reply by kathyu on Fri May 13, 2016 at 4:16 pmBetween Sandy and Erik sounds like epunch is covered, but happy to sit down if you need a break. I hear Kathy Geist wants an epunch lesson. See you Saturday. Hope to see the bear if he doesn't get hit by a car crossing Ridge or shot by a trigger happy local.

Reply by LarryG on Fri May 13, 2016 at 8:06 pmThis event seems to draw rare visitors to Phila, first the Pope and now a bear. Reminds me of a joke. Anyway, if you were actually to "bear witness":Wildlife officials say if you are confronted by a bear you want to raise your arms and make yourself look bigger than you are and make a lot of noise in hopes of scaring it away.
