On Sunday Sept 19 we'll take back the ladder bridges stolen from the MTB bike trail at Hickory Glen Park.

Bring bug repellant, water, work gloves, saftey goggles and a desire to play in the dirt. Bring a post hole digger if you have one. If you have waiders and you'd like to put them to use bring those too

Meet at the football field located right of the trailhead. Sunday Sept 19 at 9:00 am.

See Hickory Glen Park Trail map ==> http://www.mmba.org/trails.php?trail=12

Lunch will be provided.

Can you elaborate?

The bridges were stolen, but we know where they are and we're taking them back?

or

We're rebuilding from scratch?

When did this happen?

suydam,

Kids stole them to make a sectional bridge over the river to an isolated party spot. There’s about $20 in returns back there, and the remains of their pot garden. We will be taking them back and anchoring them with 4x4's this time!

Thanks Jeff !!
Do you have waiders? :shock:

or a post hole digger? :evil:

Also, in reference to SUYDAM's post above, I am seeking 'technical assistance' to figure out how to post photos so folks can get an idea of what we'll be doing as we 'RECLAIM THE BRIDGES' .. . more to follow, thanks for your patience

Here's one of the old bridges that was stolen:

He looks to small to cart off the bridge. Are you sure he acted alone? :wink:

Not sure, but his 4 year old sister probably helped him !
