= early Winter a number of panels
r and bridges over creeks and ra-
' vines have been placed in position,
opening up the hunting country in

p which country heretofore was diff
! cult to hunt because OF natural and
: also man-made obstacles such as

. been largely corrected by this
paneling work, although there still
is a lot to be done to please the
|, hard riding members.

augmented considerably until it
