Horn Creek Bridge Replacement Saturday, June 29th - sign up

[clydesdale]

We will have a workparty on Saturday June 29 starting at 8:30am.
Plan is to replace yellow jacket bridge (just off the dirt road section 4). We will also have a small repair job on section 2 bridge. We will need 15+ people. There will be a lot of moving materials, hammering nails, digging footers and building rails. Carpentry experience would be great, but not required. Please respond to [e-mail].

Thanks,
Daniel Allen
Trails Coordinator

Thanks to the volunteers who have already signed up for the work party.

At this point we still need at least 6 more volunteers to get this work done. If you are available to work next Saturday morning please sign up and lend a hand. You do not have to be a member of SORBAcsra, anyone who uses the local trails is more than welcome to join us at [e-mail] Thank you!

If we do not get enough volunteers we won't be able to get both of the bridges finished.

We have one bridge to rebuild and this one has to be repaired!

Making progress...... we have 13 volunteers to help with Saturday's work party rebuilding the bridge on section 4 and repairing the bridge on section 2. If we can get enough people out to work we might can send a trained sawyer and a swamper in to take care of the 2 trees (at last count) that have since fallen onto the trail! Let me know if you can make it. [e-mail] Thanks!

For those already signed up, thank you! There will be an email going out to the work crew tomorrow.

What is the timeline for this work? I have a commitment Saturday through noon.

The plan is to start at 8:30 and hopefully be finished as quickly after noon as we can!

Great work party today and a lot accomplished! Not only did we get the bridge rebuilt at the end of Section 4 (CW), also repaired that first bridge on Section 2 (CW), and a couple of trees cut off Section 3 - this trail is ready to go! We had 16 volunteers sign up and 17 arrived ready to go at 8:30AM. This work party stretched to 5 1/2 hours so special thanks to all our volunteers! Here are a few pics from today -

The volunteers!



Bridge rebuild on Section 4 -























And after we had unloaded everything and determined who would be working where.......four volunteers headed off down Section 2 to repair the 1st bridge -











And over halfway through the Drawdy's peeled off to go removed 2 downed trees on Section 3!

Great day and always so enjoy working with our great group of volunteers - they are simply the best!

Wow! I am totally impressed with how much work you all did today. The bridge looks awesome. Thank you so much for taking the time to fix up one of my favorite trails. I have many fond memories of riding this trail ...over a decade ago when I would come in from Aiken with my dear friends Marsha and Alice, a SMC in '09, and while competing in the Baker's Dozen alongside the Drawdys over the past two years. You guys rock!
