On Monday the long-lost bridge in the Pilgrim River Watershed Trails was finally moved back to where it should be. Ever since the Father's Day Flood last summer it's been located about 400 ft downstream from where it was originally installed. Stephen H and Keith M came out to help and we couldn't have got it done without them!
 |
| First job is to attach a hitch to it. |
 |
| Then we attach the Boss's winch cable and reel her out of the creek bottom. |
 |
| A bit of a bump to get up. |
 |
| It took some nudging. |
 |
| Almost there. |
 |
| After it was out, it was attached to the Boss's hitch and out it went. |
 |
| Add a hand cart and zooooom it goes to its rightful location. |
 |
| Back down nearing the creek bottom. |
 |
| And now it's back in place! It was pushed about with the 2 wheel cart under it. |
 |
| More work remains. |
 |
| Like adding some abutments to raise it higher for future floods... |
 |
| And staking it down so it can't be washed away ever again. |
 |
| 2 leggeds like to keep their feet dry but we'll cross in the creek any day! |
 |
| What a beautiful fall day to be in the woods. BIG thanks to Keith and Stephen! |
