Road work
The locals have the old road pretty torn up in some spots, so today, I went up there to see about fixing things up a bit, mostly hauling rock to the wet messy parts where they cause water to run down the steep parts of the road, mostly from making tire ruts in the road. They just drive in the same old rut with their tires which causes water to run down the road and make wet spots. I’ve asked them to drive all over the road, but it just doesn’t seem to get through to them, so they mess the road up and make it worse for themselves, which makes more work for me to try to keep it open for them.
Anyway, I rode on up through the state park to where Skiddy was parked and started it up to warm it up a bit.
I hauled rock to the soft spots pretty much all day.
I had to stop here to throw some pieces of redwood wood off the road as it’s hard to make things smooth other wise.
I threw these chucks of redwood wood off the road then smoothed the road out.
At the end of the day, I parked next to Skiddy and filled up the it’s fuel tank with diesel.
It’s nice to have an electric pump to help transfer the fuel, otherwise it would be a real pain to hold up those slow emptying fuel containers.
On the way down the road, I stopped here to fix this ditch to stop water from going down the road. The water is coming from small springs along the road.
I went on home from there.
Nice day.
