This morning a dream was realized. My father was instrumental in creating what is now the Seven Islands State Birding Park. For close to 15 years he has been working to get a pedestrian bridge built to an island that is part of the park. Today the Linda and Pete Claussen bridge was dedicated, complete with the release into the wild of a bald eaglet named "Claussen."

it wouldn't be hard.

just beyond the gate, as you enter, you cross over an arroyo (dry stream bed), that is about 35 feet wide, and about 20 feet deep, but there is an earthen 'dam' with a culvert down low to allow the water to go thru when it rains.
