March 28, 2010 – The Great Bridge Removal Project

Perhaps the best thing about doing volunteer work is that you get to meet people like Vinnie Caporale. When you are doing good things, people like Vinnie appear almost as if my magic. Anyway, Vinnie called me early in the week and wanted to know if I had any projects I needed help with.  It so happens that I did, but it would take someone special to take on the 32' X 2' footbridge pictured at left. Presumably someone with good intentions built this bridge.  What they didn't seem to realize was that the first flood would take it away.  This is exactly what happened, turning it into an instant eyesore.  (This is why you need to get permits to build things like bridges).

So we removed it by cutting it into thirds and dragging each section up a steep hill to Bay Valley Lane.  When we got it there we had to cut it into chunks sized so that the Ox Road Landfill would accept them.  Eventually we got it hauled away, including several bags of trash. So here's to Vinnie Caporale without whom this monstrosity would have stayed in Little Rocky Run for a long time. PS - this is the first official Alice Ferguson clean up activity for the 2010 clean up.
