... that was the last six months, we are prepared for the long run, and we don't have enough to lose, so if some one still wants to jump, they can own the bridge next. and that's the sad part that we base any progress on what stupid people might want to do. We won't have anything left, so we stepped in, hoping that others from Oregon will want to take ownership. We have no expectations.

Thing is, I and (we) won't live our lives based on others risk. The cost is doubling however, because of the planning. In the meantime, this bridge was built to last, we want people to enjoy the McKenzie River and if no one else wants to own it, we will. That's what we do. It's the McKenzie River, you're not want to going to leave us in charge of our little strip of paradise. Check out Workin' Bridges on Facebook. Be a part of the project. That corner needs public input and we are delighted that the Register Guard is looking.    Julie
