Big big weekend at McNaughton Park. I went around helping my girl take pictures and pick up golf balls on Saturday while my boy and Mountain Man Jerry slugged out a couple of hours on the race loop. On Sunday, we carried a chain saw to clear more trail as many places were getting blocked with downed limbs and trees.
As the pic shows, somebody obviously tried to see just how strong the broken bridge really is and caused it to tip a little more as well as got some more of the connecting planks to pop out. So, we worked a little harder at getting the path cleared for you folks to run down to the bottom and back up the other side. Be careful! I landed on my chin trying to cross those slick logs at the bottom - before my people cleared them, of course.
At another location - near the golf course - we started to clear a small log that was on the trail. Found a hornets nest. My girl got stung a couple of times, screamed and shrieked to "run for your lives" as we bolted out of there. Now, I'm no golfer but I'm guessing those guys on the course, after hearing such a panicked scream, looked up just in time to see a girl and a collie sprinting through the woods being chased by a guy with a chain saw, would have a bit of a concentration problem for the rest of the day.
