Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:45:58 GMT http://www.pyro.ws/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=17 As a result of the meeting at the May Launch, we determined the weekend of May 30 & 31 will be when we are going to build our bridges. We will be constructing 3 bridges. 2 log (with planking) and 1 barrel (with planking). We will need every able bodied person we can muster to help. We will be cutting down trees, limbing, dragging and positioning them. We'll be cutting wood, planking the logs and anchoring them. We'll also be framing the barrel bridge, decking it, and testing it. :-) With a lot of help and a little luck, we should be able to get it done in one weekend. Tue, 26 May 2009 14:48:50 GMT
