| This is the part of the lake that we are to bridge
|
We will be using these bits of old telegraph poles for uprights
|
And these old pipes to span the gap
|
Starting to dig a hole for the first upright
|
Pounding in an upright with a sledgehammer
|
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the ranch, some steps are going in to a steep bank
|
And some more steps further along the path!
|
Putting in a half-round upright to hold the step in place
|
Back at the bridge, a support is going in for the upright, and a hole is being dug for the second upright
|
Chris takes a break from supervising
|
These steps are coming along nicely
|
And so are these!
|
Second bridge-post going in slowly but surely
|
And this one gets a supporting strut too
|
Until our bridge is complete, this rope bridge is the only way to get to the island...
|
...unless you want to try floating across on a telegraph pole?
|
So now this lovely tranquil site has...
|
... new steps and a handrail, ...
|
...two extra steps here, plus another set of steps not pictured,...
|
...and one end of a bridge. We'll be back another day to complete the job.
