Irene - Bridge across Sandy Run

A "bridge" across Sandy Run had been dislodged.  "Bridge" is in quotes because the bridges that the trails committee maintains are planks, chained to the ground so they won't float away in floods.   In order to relocate the bridge the working group approached the run from different directions.  John C. and Ruth were on one side of the run.  Maggie, Carol, and John H. were on the other.   As it turned out the water level was much lower than it had been when John made his observations the day before and it was not difficult to step across the run.    In the 1st photo the photographer is on one side of the run while John C. and Ruth are on the other side, discussing strategy for shifting the plank -- which is heavy.  The 2nd photo shows John H. crossing the dislodged plank and Carol in the foreground. The 3nd photo shows the plank back in place. Click photos to see them large.
