Ottawa Ski Club Year Book 1944-45 43 Night Riders week-end Diary SAT. 28 OCT. 44 Old man weather acted pretty grumpy all morning. Kept threatening rain or snow, tried a little of each but couldn't make up his mind. By late afternoon he gave up in disgust and drove his heavy gr·ey clouds to new pastures with a strong north-wester clearing the skies and letting the sun in for the few remaining moments of daylight to suck up some of yesterday's rain. The N.R.s turned out early in almost full force. John Clifford and Bill Irving coming up at eight-thirty a.m. with their cars fiUed to capacity. I drove in the afternoon with Clarence Fuller and Fred Hannah. Stu Parsons and Fred Richardson the only two missing were out of town. Elmer CaiSse! had his regular gang of Jim Moore, Ron Carwardine and Alan Richardson with him at Pink Lake. Work concentrated chieflv on the new bridge at the foo"t of . Mort's Hill which has been wid- by Fred Dixon ened to slightly ov·er sixty feet. AJbout eight more trees were removed stumps and all by the much simpler method of cutting all the ma:in roots, tying the block and tackle high up in the tree, hitching Prince, the new O.S.C. acquisition, and saying "Gee Up". Simple isn't it, compared to the old BP (before Prince) days. While the boys are busy grubbing and cutting roots of new trees for removal, Prince is kept busy ·earning his keep hauling · half-ton boulders down the creek into position in the new bridge. · We got Dick, one of the workmen emp1oyed on the lodge construction, to blast one big boulder that was too large to be removed in one chunk, and also remove two particularly nasty stumps, thereby saving ourselves hours of hard grubbing. John Clifford and Phil Botts were cooks in the Southam lodge this week end and whipped up a good 'hot supper of soup, roasted potatoes, oven- Our cook, Emile Danjar, in Southern Lodge. Elmer Cassell sawing planks on Great Divide Bridge.
