Repairing a bench cut, with a deadman, that had been sluffing into the ravine.

Nice to see some P.Pro being used out there. Remember kids, no matter how good you are with a saw things can go sideways real fast.

Nice work too!

Finding an easier way to haul a few hundred rungs to the work site.

Funny watching the riders looks when a dozen rungs scream 200 ft down a zip line then auto dump at the end, and the figure 8 setup self retrieve with no one in sight.

Very creative silk, nice work.

There was this bridge on Roach Hit, great construction but unfortunately the supports were rotten. We used this opportunity to rebuild the feature in the new character of the trail.

Original bridge looking uphill:

The supports were thin and rotten, and needed replacement.

Out comes the main bridge. The stringers and rungs were structurally sound and were re-used after the bark was peeled off.

New supports were dug into the ground:

A little roller was built before the bridge, additional slats were put down, geomat and dirt holding logs installed.

Roller golded in.

Bridge golded too.

And a mellow run out to the bridge.

Should tie the trail together nicely!

watch out with lining the sides of your trail with logs - traps in the water and lets it run down the trail instead of off the side of it.
