Bill Massa, who is in charge of the club's special projects, sent along these pictures of walkways crossing wet areas alongside Route 346 at Willow Bay. The builder was Gene Cornelius with the assistance of U.S. Forest Service personel. The materials were gotten with funds remaining from the trail rehabilitation project recently completed at Morrison Trail. That project, and therefore this one, was supported by Shell Oil Company and American Refining Group.
