East Fern Trail Bridge Build

This gallery is composed primarily of shots from a 25 Jan '09 workday. It depicts: 1) work done to replace the "Polos" bridge washed away by Tropical Storm Fay in August '08, 2) work done to the log ride ~ 400m NE of the bridge project. Sorry 'bout the weird exposure and white balance on lots of the shots. For some earlier photos from this area (e.g., what the old bridge looked like, initial log ride mods), see this gallery. Photos of Fern Trail leading here from the west. For photos of the new (late Jan '09) singletrack bog trails south and east of the bridge, see here. As has been stated elsewhere, "If you think you don't need a helmet, then you probably don't." With a gallery full of shots, you may find it easier to navigate if you change the gallery "style" (top right) from "smugmug" to "all thumbs." Or "slideshow" or "filmstrip" or . . . you get the idea, it's configurable by you. I usually like "journal."
