Sooooo excited to get stairs leading into the river today!!!

Original owners had very large rocks installed 20 years ago. Hurricane Helene washed away absolutely everything that was at the shore including the giant rocks and all the trees.

I'm going to plant some trees along the water in the fall. I want to swing a hammock between 2 trees!
