Bridging the Gap at Monkey Creek

Another Florida Trail Association F-Troop volunteer trail crew project kicks off tomorrow, and this one’s a doozy - installing the longest free spanning bridge ever built on the Florida Trail, an 80-foot span across Monkey Creek, the outflow to Bradwell Bay in the Apalachicola National Forest, north of Sopchoppy. Volunteers are welcome! Rigging training is provided Saturday and Sunday before the bridge building begins in earnest on Monday (and goes on through Nov 19) but you can always jump in on a non-technical task. I hope to drop in Sunday morning to see what they’re up to. More details >>>
