When mud and muck stood in the way of walkers, runners and wheelchair athletes being able to enjoy a 14-mile trek through the woods of King George County, volunteers across the community rallied to build a bridge over troubled water.
Make that 120 feet of elevated bridges and boardwalks, known in trail terms as âbog boards,â that the Friends of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail put in place. Along with others who heard about the effort, the Friends rustled up old railroad ties from elsewhere on the path and put down new lumber in time for the Sheetz-to-Sheetz Trail Run, planned Saturday.
