#1 BIG beam was moved down!


Yes that's right.   After years of planning, fund raising and plain hard work, the first bridge beam was finally moved into Swedetown creek gorge at 9 this morning.




A City of Hancock fellow lifted one and onto a trailer for us.  Thanks guys!





Another BIG thanks to Bill M. Glenn A. and
 the city council for their help on this project.





First we fly down the trail we just cleared on Saturday.





I'm kidding about the speed.  Into the 1st corner we go.







Towards the sand pit we zoom.

 



Down Sisu hill we skid.  The Rhino was tied on as an anchor.
I thought Mark might go too fast, so applied the brakes :-).





At the bottom we switched to the shorter and more
maneuverable, compact tractor.








Yes is was a tad tight here!





Just about there!  BIG thanks to Kathy and Bella for coming out to help.





Next job is to cut heavy timbers into supports.





Done!  That's one manly, stout looking beam.   At this point we are not sure when the next one with be moved down.
