Rain rain go away.

The rain cancelled our tuesday work day, so this week I have yet to work. Tomorrow (friday) we are working again, sadly I don't have any helping hands because they are all busy playing football against the men on the school staff. We will be working on clearing out the area for the 6 foot wide by 10 feet long tube to guide water safely under the passing. Tomorrow should be a successful day, but only time will tell. Till then!

Well since last friday, we've definitely made some progress. Here are pictures from last friday.

The walk down to the ravine.

The Ravine From both sides. 

Now you have seen what we will be crossing, there is also a creek in the middle of this whole mess. This Tuesday, with the help of Thomas Wildeman and Brad Thorne, my mentor and I made some progress in clearing some of the shrubbery away to see where the path will go. After our work shots.

These pictures are still fairly hard to see what exactly is happening, we have much more work to do! This Friday is our next work day, so we'll see what we can get done!

Change of plans.

Change of plans, no more bridge. Or at least for now.. Mr. Turner and I went out to the site for a view of the site. It is very over grown and the whole concept of a bridge got very complicated with the given circumstances. We examined every aspect of getting down the ravine, crossing the ravine and getting back up the other side. Water drainage was a big problem but we are avoiding those problems of having the trail washed away. We may build a bridge depending on how we can make this work best. My end goal is not changed, because I am still working to get across this ravine. The next work day is tuesday! I am excited and can't wait to get back out there.
