| Taking the spare stuff out before netting... | Even the fittings... | D checks out that the ledge is clean as once it's covered, we're not going to worry too much about it if our netting does the job!! |

| The frame is complete leaving very little space anywhere. Now the netting goes on. | Scissors cut to size, zip ties hold it down. We also zipped net to net where overlap occurred. | The far section is done. That is the part that from the far side could be picked up and all the coins, flashlights, batteries, rocks, and other stuff that falls down would be rolled to the close net. |

| Dale T stayed below to attach each batch of netting to the pipes in the middle while the other three tied it down on the sides. | We plan on having excess overlap here on 'Big Boy' to cover any space because of no ledge there. | Then it was time to pack our stuff out! Done!! |

| The finished product. | You can see how the overlap here takes care of any space that might show. | Directly under the above part (the visitor trail) we've added netting all the way to the rocks so if something comes down, it will just roll on the netting. |
