Today we assembled at the chalet, then drove down to the bridge a 42ft long structure to test the drive-ability of something that long. Some of the corners and bumps had us worrying.
 |
| Gromit was here to supervise. Just about ready. |
 |
| We're off! |
 |
| We made this corner but some adjustments were needed. A 42ft long trailer is a beast! |
 |
| The bridge sections weigh in at about 3000lbs each. |
 |
| We descend to the hairpin corner at the top of Sisu. |
 |
| No major problems so we continue down Sisu. The 8ft boards you see out the sides is to mimic the width of the trailer we'll be using. |
 |
| No problem. |
 |
| This is the tallest bump and we made it. |
 |
| The last section we backed down. What glorious weather to be working on trails in. |
 |
| Gromit is amazed that we made it! Some corners need adjustments but that will be fast work for the compact tractor we've been renting. |
 |
| The three of us spent the rest of the afternoon hauling rocks in. |
The middle bridge project volunteer hours rolled over 600 today. Would you like to help?
