Retaining Wall at Station 6

On the first day of the project, we cleaned up the area to get
rid of all of the shrubs and other plants where I would build
the wall. Then, we started to dig the holes where we would put
the posts. This task was especially hard, as we had to change
the location of the post from the original design due to a
massive rock being there. Our holes were about 2-3 feet deep and
we first put a little gravel in the hole, then put the post and
used a bag of concrete for each post and mixed it with water. We
started the second day by attaching the planks that would form
the wall. After we finished, we shoveled gravel onto the site
and finished it with a couple layers of tanbark.
