Bridge over the Little Bear River gallery

Been wanting to do this for a long time. Laid out the first part of the framework, the horizontal span pipes. Got a long way to go.
Have to pour concrete footings on both ends to secure the pipes. They will be approx.2 feet higher then where the tubes are now. Then 3 vertical supports on each side into the river bed to prevent bowing (sagging) and to attach handrails to. It will be 39 inches wide with 2X6's for the walking surface. Should be a fun project. On the other side is a perfect place for a little camp site.

FINISHED SEPT 29, EXACTLY ONE YEAR FROM START DATE. HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT NO WORK WAS DONE ON IT FROM NOVEMBER THROUGH CLOSE TO THE END OF APRIL THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

Intriguing series. So, maybe after all this work you'll wonder why you didn't just take off your boots, roll up your pants a bit, and simply walk across! - grin -
