Today a lot of work was accomplished on the lower bridge going in behind
the Environmental Education Center across from the Rincon Fire Station.
Lois (USFS) and Ben from the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders had
collected the wood for the bridge earlier in the week and today we sealed
the wood with a weather sealant. Also Tom had welded the steel plates
that are going in and today much of the metal for the bridge was installed.
In all it was a fun though unexciting day out in the Angeles National
Forest!

The wood going in to the bridge before being treated
We lay out drop cloth and protective equipment before we begin
The longest wood pieces get treated first
Stacked the finished parts out in sunlight to dry
Two people treating the wood at a time and we got all of it finished
Here's where I take my shower at the end of the day
Ben and Lou drill the metal work after measurements were made
Janette continues to treat the bridge lumbner
And the final set of lumber is completed
Only a little loss of blood today
Ben, Lou, and Bernie working on the bridge metal
Rocks had been piled against the bridge footing to slow down water
More of the same
The other bridge footing and the metal going in
A wide look at the entire bridge effort
A look along the creek
The nature trail has signs along the way
We restack the finished lumber and pack everything away
