Replaced broken slats on second bridge east of lower Ladies - stringers have some surface rot but lots of solid wood at the core - much better than I was expecting :) reporter

A river runs through it! VERY VERY WET; LOTS of big puddles; some of the skinnies that straddle the puddles are a hit submerged. Rocks are all grippy though.
