We went to Birmingham this weekend instead of heading over to Blackbearry Ridge. In speaking with the girls this weekend, the bears are making their presence know at The Ridge. This has been the first sighting of bears this year.
We did have a surprise on the drive over to Blackbearry Ridge the weekend of April 19th. US 441 through the park is now open. The repair to the road caused by the landslide has been finished and this save us about 40 minutes drive time each way.

Work on Stairway Continues
The last few weeks have been slow but steady as Brent is working on the handrail for the stairs. We were able to get the 16 foot long piece of red oak handrail into the house by threading the handrail through an upstairs window. Brent has mitered two (2) joints at each end to customized the handrail. This has caused a lot of time as he as pieced the rail together but the results look great. The handrail has been installed and removed several times during this process but this weekend we will perform a final sanding and stain the handrail. The handrail installation nears the end.
The only major item standing in the way of completing the stairway now is the installation of the iron ballasters on the open side. The installation of the ballasters should begin this weekend and the renovation of the stairway will near completion.
