Tiedeman Pond boardwalk: The flooding last August and the continuing damage done


The worst of the damage.  Orange cones required.  Two women had walked to this point on the boardwalk the other day.  Personally, I wouldn't trust the boardwalk's current structural integrity.

Bench platform dislodged.


A couple more planks missing.


Ditto.

Missing 'guardrail'.


The good news is that the boardwalk is still open to turtles.
