Fence Building 101

The folks at Booker T. Washington National Monument asked for some volunteer help building split rail fence to replace some of the old fencing. About 10 volunteers arrived to help park personnel. 2 of the ten were Brfal members, Steve Gardener and Rich Brager. After a brief lesson in fence building, our team of volunteers went to town and kicked butt as you can see in the pix.
