HELP NEEDED BUILDING A PUNCHEON BRIDGE
Details
Meet at 8:00 AM each morning at he shed. See map above. Take US 98 North out of Okeechobee. Pass the Cracker Trail Food Mart at 18084 US-98, Okeechobee, FL 34972 and look for the orange mailbox on left after Micco Bluff Road and before Micco Landing. Refer to map above.
Please join us in replacing a 50-60 foot section of puncheon bridge. This project is necessary due to SFWMD correcting a property line error and replacing several hundred feet of fencing. As a result, one of our puncheon
bridges ended up on private property. A few weeks ago we removed the misplaced bridging and now it is time
to relocate it to the correct side of the fence. We are scheduling this project on Sunday, March 15, through Tuesday, March 17. This is to accommodate participation by students from Flagler College on the 16th. As you know, any
puncheon bridge project requires many volunteers. The work may be moderate to strenuous. We will meet at the shed each morning at 8am and drive
15 minutes to the job site. Long pants, gloves, and sturdy shoes are required. Please bring at least 2 liters of
water and some snacks and lunch. Please check the weather beforehand to make sure you are ready for any adverse
conditions. Please RSVP.
