One of the feature glories of October Weekend is the bonfire, for which a lot of brush must be hauled.  Three crews pitched in today to do a final cleanup of the Wheelocks field to prepare for the illuminating event.  Midway through the second round of brush hauling, the tractor died – maybe a dead battery, maybe a bad alternator.  Michael (the grandfather of a prospective camper) happened to be on hand and knew his way around old Ford tractors, and within minutes we were off and running once more.  (Many thanks again, Michael).  First, however, the girls showed off their muscles, pushing the tractor out from under the load.  (wink)
