Shoofly trail has three bridges. One collapsed from rot a couple winters ago. Stringers are native logs. Decking is 4×12 pressure treat. Sturdy. But…there’s not enough gap between the stringers or the decking so they got packed with needle duff and dirt. Not a good condition for untreated native log stringers. Hence the collapsed bridge at the bottom of the run. Me and The Corona went out and pitter patter got at ‘er this weekend. Cleaned out the two remaining bridges. Corona perfect tool. Slide it straight down through the duff then gently draw it out putting pressure towards the outside edge and it lifted that gunk out easy. Maybe get a couple more seasons. Good time in the woods on a beautiful day in October.
