July 28, 2010, Work Party

Our goal this night was to move and join sections of boardwalk along the south side of our proposed loop. This involved wheeling sections along a dry upland path to where the bog started in earnest on the south side of the park.

This stretch will meet up with the west leg, from the northern bridge through the bog. The west leg has been adopted by Terrance Smith, who is organizing crews to install sections in this part of the boardwalk as his Eagle Scout project.

Volunteers during this Wednesday night work party included five former Bowman students — Maria, Rose, Emma, Grace, and Molly — all now in high school, and their good nature and singing helped the work go quickly. We also grabbed Ivan, a South High student who was waiting on the Bowman playground for a friend to play ball, to help move sections during the early part of the evening. He agreed and with his help, the work session got off to a great start. Andie Link provided delicious, buttery chocolate chip cookies and drinks. The cookies were gobbled up before a picture could be made!

Moving Party, July 21, 2010


Fabulous turnout for Tanglewood boardwalk work party on this night -- 16 volunteers who lifted, carried, avoided injury, and enjoyed the wildlife ... plus fans who stopped by to appreciate the boardwalk's progress and volunteer stamina. We moved 41 sections of the boardwalk.

Our business support included the loan of an off-road trailer from Tag-Along-Trailer (Dave Owmby, owner) and an ATV from Whalen Construction (Pat Whalen, owner).


Terrance Smith brought a crew of Scouts to help, as he launched work on the second leg of the boardwalk for an Eagle Scout project.

Enjoy the rest of these pictures...

Moving Sections by Garden Cart!
Here are a few pictures from our Garden Cart Moving Party...

We did fine...



























...until the cart broke. Those sections ARE heavy, 300+ pounds.










But all can be repaired, by replacing lost bolts.









This cart will be perfect for moving sections along the boardwalk. We'll use Dave's TagAlong Trailer for the next big move, as we did last year.
