Forest work
I had some brush to trim on my cousin’s place. I drove on up there and parked here.
Brush is always growing out in the road. This is some of the brush I trimmed and got off the road.
Walk
As I trimmed out the brush I spotted an old road that went down the hill from here, so my curiosity made me go for a little hike to check it out. Always good for more exercise.The old road went down through a meadow and would make a nice trail.
Road study
The next thing I did was to drive on down this road to study how to improve it so it drains better and doesn’t wash out all the time and create erosion problems.
Slide
This area slid last winter and needs to be cleaned up, moving those big stumps.
All these logs on the right side need to be removed so the slide can be cleaned up and the ditch put back in.
Rocks
After that, I rode on over to the rock slide for some rocks.
I loaded up with the rocks I thought I would need.
Then I drove on over to my pond and parked.
Spring
And I walked over to this spring which was near the pond.
I installed a temporary piece of black pipe to extend the spring out to the road so it was easier to get a drink of water.
This is the flow from that spring and I got a drink of water.
My clay dam looks like it’s holding up well. I’ll finish up putting this spring together soon, once I get a stainless screen for it.
Memorial area
I stopped here to unload the rocks I’d gathered.
And unloaded them for future use.
From there I headed on home for some chair hopping. I looked at the mower but didn’t feel like mowing today as I’d already gotten enough exercise.
Nice day.
