So Warren and I headed up to the middle of nowhere Friday morning (aka Millinocket, 4.5 hours North of us in NH) so that he could help my dad and the other TL Camp Owners Association volunteers with the rebuild of the footbridge that goes out to the island that my family's camp is on.
Half of the day yesterday (Saturday) was spent carrying all of the supplies from the parking lot where the lumber truck dropped them off down to the waterside, a hike of about 1/4 mile. There were about 90 2x12x24 feet long pieces, over 600 2x4's. This doesn't include all of the other building supplies. Once the pieces were lake-side, the men carried over to the island what they'd need that day to do two spans worth. They tore down the two spans and started to reconstruct. When we left this morning (at 7am), it looked fantastic!
Construction will continue through today and hopefully be finished when they pick it back up next weekend. We didn't stay today, as it was get off the island before deconstruction started at 7am, or not be able to get off the island until about 7pm. We chose the morning departure!
