Perkins Gating Day
Some ACC members gathered Nov. 24, 2007, to finish the gate improvement project. The gate excelled at keeping people out but was very difficult to put back into position and lock. Now it pivots smoothly on a tubular bearing and swings easily back into the exact position for locking, or so we pray. All gate pictures by John Matthews.
