Rattlesnake Bridge work
April 21, 2019
On Friday, April 19th, Bolton Trails work party comprised of Jeffery Bryan, Larry Kunz, Andrew schaubhut and Bob Reimer met at Rattlesnake trail to build a new bridge. Rattlesnake trail needed a bridge at the great brook crossing near environment pools.
Bob reviewed the existing arrangement that was being used a bridge was extremely slippery and was not safe to cross the brook. He arranged rocks ahead of their planned work day for the new bridge. Bob also came up with a rough design for the bridge. They hiked to the trail with the necessary equipment and supply to build the bridge.
Whole work was done in one day. Bridge is 36 feet long. Now everyone can enjoy brook crossing safely. Thank you to our amazing group of trail warriors! Enjoy pictures. Bridge looks great.
