October 2008 Trail Day With S.M.A.R.T. at Mercer County Park

Comments

This month, S.M.A.R.T. worked right with Mercer County Park itself to build / install a new bridge. Today we are here to clean up the remains of the old bridge.

If you would like to help keep the trails clean / ridable in Mercer County Park, please visit mercertrails.org. If MCP is not in your area, check out JORBA.org. We work around NJ to keep the trails beautiful.

The new bridges are in.


This is the piece we are going to rip out to widen the river again.

What nice bridges they put in.

And we begin


Kevin decided to fix the "problem" and make the bridge perfect.


Mick always has a need to cut things :)


These large rocks were originally placed here years ago. They served us well.


We have definitely removed a good bit of filler

We had removed everything from that post to where the guys are by this point.


They were probably wondering why 5 grown men were playing in the mud


We turned a 7 foot gap to a 20 foot gap. Not too shabby.


Mick found some quicksand


Admiring their work
