Road work
I went up to where I was working on getting the road ready to rock as I needed to fix some wet stuff. I used the skidder to haul rock from a place at the top of the road to do some repairs in anticipation for putting a six inch coat of rock on the road, with help from the Park guys at a later time
Spring wet spot and muddy
I hauled rock to this spot that was all muddy, I got enough rock on the road to fix up the messy spot, so no more sliding here.
Fueling
I was watching the fuel gauge and when it got to the red zone, I stopped to fuel up Skiddy.
With a full fuel tank, I went back to hauling rock down the road to fix bad spot from springs popping out of the hillsides.
I hauled rock to a spring that was making the road muddy. It wasn’t too bad but could get worse from people driving on it. It’s mostly just wet on the right side of the road.
I was able to get some rock on where it crossed the road and will put more rock on this spring tomorrow.
Needs rock
This turn has quite a bit of fill on it, so I will work on rocking it tomorrow before the rains hit in a few days.
The road down below where I’m rocking it, is in bad shape with water running out of a spring and running down one side of the road for a long ways, making it slippery.
The spring is popping out of the left side of the road, right in the middle of it. I worked on changing the slope here to drain the water off to the right so it stops going all the way down the road.
I stopped at 3 to go talk with the park guys about rocking the road soon. We rode on up there so I could show them what we needed to do.
Unfortunately
Unfortunately, the park guys had to move their equipment to another park, so they won’t be able to help me rock the road like it should be with their dump truck before rain comes in a few days.
I’m not able to rock the road like it should be without their help. I can however put a light coating of rock on the road and with the local guys from back in the woods driving on it, it’s getting well packed in.
Scattering rock
To scatter a light coat of rock on the road, I overload the bucket so when I go down the road to fix a wet spot, some of the rock falls out of the bucket to scatter a light coat of rock on the road.
Nice day.
