Marker Placement Delayed by Dry Ice Assisted Stone Set
The four dry ice blocks supported the five ton stone as it was positioned and lowered. Lead pieces were reset, slings removed, and the stone rested on the ice blocks. Gifford brothers expect marker posts and chain to be installed by weekend if weather allows, with final landscaping to follow.
