Today was work day for the Thursday Old Geezers #TOG at #OxleyNatureCenter. The task today was to renovate the steps down to the Oxbow Trail. The old steps had rotted out so it was just a slippery slope. The work involved digging out to an ~30˚ slope and putting in overlapping railroad ties on a 7 pitch setup (7 inch rise for each 12 inch run). The median age of the TOGs is 71. The group (all retired) is comprised of a Engineers, a Clinical Psychologist, an Antarctic researcher (Microbiology), and a structural geologist (emeritus prof). We work because we enjoy serving the greater good, we enjoy collaborating together, we enjoy solving a range of complex problems, and to stay active, and give back to the community
