Wanted: Cement Steps

Yesterday (Sunday Feb 5th) was another day of hiking among the springs.  This time we were alerting the next community to receive springs that 1) it was time to gather sand and rocks, 2) introducing them to Wycliffe the contractor and 3) making arrangements for material storage and lunches for the workers.  Three of the springs we are about to construct are at the bottom of short, steep cliffs.  How the ladies transport 50 lb buckets of water up these steep sections is beyond me- let alone in the rain.  Wycliffe, the very gentlest of fellows, will put together quotes for concrete stairs.  The video shows one of these sections.  If we have money left over we will install steps where we can.
