Lopez Bridge still has concrete barriers blocking either end of it. We tried metal and cloth-webbed come-alongs with 1.5" steel prybars, but they wouldn't budge. Some more simple machine ingenuity might have helped, but time was short. So, the path has a few turns, but will now be more fun to move along. WT Wallington could've helped I'm sure, he likes to move big heavy things around his backyard. More on moving large objects through history.

We will be finishing up the path + patching job this Sunday, November 25, meeting at the bridge at 9:00 am! Connecting pieces of the path with ramps and hopefully making it look sweet. Things to bring:
-wood, plastic, net, rope, tree branches, stretched out bubblegum, anything around 83" long (to fill in at railings)
-pieces of wood (any sort of 2x wood, and plywood) to fill in + cover holes in the deck
-screws/nails >2"
-paint/brushes
-breakfast to share
And while your on the way, scope this semi-natural inclined plane/ramp/playground just off of Lafitte between Claiborne and the Lafitte redevelopment:
