Digging the pit for the Hog BBQ ! with the back how took an hour to just dig, then we had to collect 20 pickup trucks of rocks from all around the border, making trips down to the border to get many of them.  Then we built the re-enforcement to hold in the rocks and filled the sides and floor with what we had.

Getting everything in order, work started on Monday by a small crew that grew each day as did the to-do list that was created.  Usually work started at 05:30 and ended around 21:30 at night.

After months of planning the event was great, little did anyone know that it was a enormous behind the scenes project that involved many groups, leaders and a great bunch of hard working people who did there best to make sure that everyone had a great time.  After the event on Saturday morning at 0530 it looked just like a regular muster weekend.
