WOO HOO!!  After several work parties, the second bridge 2.5 miles up the trail is open for safe use!  Improving the tread up to the bridge was the focus for 11 work parties, and the bridge took 20 work parties to work on.

  I want to thank everyone who was on the trail for their patience while the crews held you up, especially when we were working on the bridge when some of you waited up to 20 minutes to safely pass by the project site.  We had a lot of rigging set up to move the heavy sills and stringers to their final sites, and even the crew couldn't pass the bridge site when there was tension on the rigging.  Your "Thank you for the work you do!" as you passed by was very much appreciated by the volunteers.

  I also want to thank ALL of the different volunteers who came out, several more than once, to work on this project.  Without you this project could not have been completed.

  We will be back next season to build some permanent steps on the trailhead end of the bridge and most likely also do some more tread work.  For now though, enjoy your hike!
