LET’S TAKE A WALK: JCAP PROJECT

By Luther Walker

HOW DID IT BEGIN?

–I started with my Eagle Scout project, which requires one to do a service-oriented project for the community.

–I talked with a friend of scouting who gave me the idea of looking at a local Park (Carkeek Park).

–The Park gave me the idea of creating a Turn Pike.

WHAT IS A TURN PIKE?

A turnpike is used to stop water from gathering on the trails.

It consists of crushed rock, large heavy rock, lumber and rebar.

Tools consist of Shovels, Wheel Barrows, Pick-Pulaski and Log Carriers

STAGE ONE: Dig out Soil Line with crushed Rock Put in Culvert

STAGE TWO: Carry Timber and Put

down Put More Crushed Rock Lay Down Rebar Top with Gravel

C’EST FINIS!

REFLECTIONS

I developed a lot of leadership skills I learned how to cooperate with other

people to complete a project I shared knowledge and researched I learned about maintaining parkways

and building a turnpike.
