Tim from Greenwood will bring the trailer with the mowers to Key Bridge. We will meet there at 7AM on Saturday. This will be at the "old" side of the road parking area.
Saturday: I am in. Money is in. Tim D (Greenwood) is in. We need more people.
Are you in?
We can also try to plan a Sunday 7/11 finish it up day out there. I can not lead it. Can you? The plan will be to fix the bridge, primarily. Secondarily, run the mowers on whatever didn't get cut on Saturday. We also need to cut the last two miles of TC.
Who is in for Saturday, 7/10?
Sunday, 7/11? But we need a leader for Sunday before we progress much further on that.

I should be able to do that Sunday if a leader can be found. You be the leader! We'll figure out what to do to fix the bridge on Saturday. If I think you and another person can walk in there with hammers/drills and hardware, are you interested in doing that? It sounds like a longshot to me, to be honest, as the first thing we may have to do is dis-assemble the bridge to make it light enough to move the stringers back in place.

Yeah sure, I guess I could. Still new to trail maintenance but I will give it a try. Oh, and I've not been to Wine Creek yet. How far in is the bridge and is there a shortcut way to get in?

I will take on the bridge planning if the work can be done later. I need to look at it first before hatching a plan. If someone already has a plan and can put something together for the 10th-11th, count me in to help.

I planned to mow to the bridge on 7-10 and figure out how to fix it that day. But did not plan to fix it. Just too much stuff to take in for one day.
The actual fixing of the bridge can be done later.

I'll be there on Saturday. I would really like to make some progress on the bridge, even if it's just dis-assembly (if that's the best route).

In for Sat. May try to ride out and scope out the bridge situation tomorrow evening, long pants and all. They are stamping man cards at the bridge for sure. That could be brutal. But the the intel is priceless. We also need a report of trees that are down in there and whether or not we need a saw. I'd be shocked if we don't. Stinging nettle, long cane and ticks will be your biggest issues. I am thinking we don't need this many bodies showing up at 7AM. Let me figure it out, but I am thinking if we stagger the times, we can mow in shifts and get a ton done. We just gotta be sure we can pull the trailer back to NA or close by.

I am in for sure. 7am is best for me. I can do whatever is needed. Anything i should bring (other than gloves)? I've got a battery powered hedge trimmer...lighter than SORBA's gas powered, but not as powerful. I have two batteries for it, no idea what kind of run time it has.

Just thinking out loud here. Anyone interested in showing up about 9AM?
I am thinking we mow from 7-9 and in that time, mow to the bridge. We then have a few people show up who will walk in about 2 miles and handle the bridge.
Not set in stone, but testing the waters to see if this suits anyone schedule and inclination to work on the bridge.
Let me know.

I don't mind working on the bridge but a 9am start time is a little late for as hot as it's been......I can bring a come-along, a sling and some chain and a cart to haul it in.
