Bridge building





Wednesday provided another beautiful early spring morning along Naples Creek for trail maintenance. Since it is still fishing season we decided to forgo any chainsaw work and proceeded to build a stone bridge across a spring fed wet spot to give the trail a chance to dry out and avoid erosion. This was the ideal project for a small and nimble crew. The pictures tell the story well, but the true test of success was coming back through after a 2 hour ride and seeing sun-dried mud harden the stone in place like mortar. I hope to publish that video soon.
Stay tuned for a trail work schedule and upcoming projects.
