Build a Foot Bridge
In California?s Fieldbrook Valley, just North of Eureka, Ron pays a visit to Starr and Esther Kilian, who live on a fabulous 7 ? acre piece of property that looks more like a state park than someone?s backyard! The trouble is, this large parcel of land is divided in many places by drainage ditches. The existing bridges are beginning to fail, and the ditches are difficult to cross without them. Starr is hoping that Ron can teach him how to build the first bridge, using beautiful redwood from nearby forests, and then Starr and Esther can replace the remaining bridges when the repairs are needed.
