We had nice weather and a good turnout of 16 volunteers to help us build a new bridge on La-Z-Boy. We've been doing a lot of drainage improvement on La-Z-Boy in our last few sessions. The slot drains seem to be doing a great job of allowing water to pass right through the trail bed.

Jackie worked hard to earn her Mount Vernon Trail Builders t-shirt this session. Any volunteer who accumulates 10+ hours earns a t-shirt.

The bridge planks went on once the holes were dug for the piers and the runners were lined up correctly.
