We reached a milestone this lovely sunny VD weekend in the mountains:

After four 16-foot sections, we're only about 4 or 5 feet from the tree:

I can't get the whole bridge in the picture, but here's a side view:

Here's an angled view showing the 10-foot wide sections:

And, here's a view showing the last set of 16-foot wide boards:

We're not sure how we're going to attach the end to the tree though:

We wrestled two 16 foot beams to either side of the big tree for now:

We're not sure how we're going to attach to the big redwood yet
though, so, that is our next engineering task to figure out.
