| About six hrs of cooperation in 90+ degree heat had the 2 docks assembled by late Monday. Early Tuesday morning the ladders, benches, cleats and anchor brackets were installed. The state dock is in place below the pavilion at Dworshak State Park. The destination dock is planned to be placed just up from the marina soon. | |
