Looks like great work! Thanks, guys… thanks to the folks working on Bottle Top too.

For future trail days, is it okay to come out if I can't make it for the whole day…just come out and work like a rented mule for an hour or so? (Family duties have me strapped for time these days)

Is the teeter further down the trail staying in?

digger's working on a way to get a swamp around it.

If you want to keep it I'm sure he won't mind you going in and fixing it!

Looking to ride the shore but don't know where to go?

I think more jagged rocks placed around it would be more fitting.

Didn't each TAP group submit a detailed plan for the work they intend do on each trail with the landowners?

After seeing that the upper skinny to drop was removed my question is asking if the teeter is remaining as part of the "master plan" for the trail. Just trying to get an idea how much of the character of the trail is changing.

Other than as historical artifacts left there to decay and remind us of the old days, I wouldn't mind never seeing a teeter, skinny or uphill ladder drop to flat again. Bring it back to the OLD old school…dirt n' rocks.

Ahhh thank you very much for the helpful link. I had seen the Pangor one but didn't know they were all posted.

This is the info I was looking for.
