Thank you most amazing volunteers!

Don't tell anyone but the caution tape is down and after a whole lot of work and way too many "that's what she said" jokes, the new bridge is mostly built. As they say at meadows, "early season conditions exist..." The park still needs trash clean up and w**d whacking but it's rideable. A huge thanks to everyone that helped but especially Jessica for all the hours she put in.
