The forest service has temporarily closed the campground where we are volunteering while they do a timber harvest in the area. It was done for the safety of the public, who may not realize the loggers will be in there. What this means is that every time I go somewhere, whether it is to go to the entrance kiosk to perform my volunteer duties or to the grocery store, I have to move that gate.
I know you can’t tell by looking at it, but that thing weighs about 50 pounds! It is making my back hurt moving it. Today I have to move it six times! And every time I do, I feel like this:
I hope they get this timber harvest finished real soon!
You be careful. I threw out my back lifting a FS gate.
I hear you! It’s such a bummer to not be able to do some physical things that used to be soooo easy. 🙂
It must be like doing a work out every day.
Yikes. Guess I shouldn’t say, it could be worse, it could be raining! We have a dear friend who lives on a cattle ranch with three cattle gates. I do the gates and usually enjoy it. All three are rarely closed, but the last time that they were, it was raining AND cold. None of these gates are heavy, they swing quite easily. Take care.
