Forest work
I rode on up into the forest today to meet neighbor Jim and his dog. Jim was going to help me do some stuff today while his dog supervised.
Old tree cut
Jim is good with a chainsaw so I had him climb up the side of the hill and cut this old dead tree off that was overhanging the road.
Rocking a water ditch
Then we took the Skidder down the old dirt road I’ve been working on and I had Jim load up the bucket with rocks we picked up along the road.
I wanted the rocks to put into this drainage ditch to prevent any more erosion by building these little check dams.
After that we worked our way back to his road to remove some old culverts, but first we had to cut some trees out of the way, which we did.
Then we pulled two old culverts out of a ditch that goes along the road. When I get busy, I sometimes forget to get pictures, which I did.
Anyway, we were setting things up for me to take out the old ditch along the road on a hair pin turn to improve the turn for fire trucks to get around the turn.
We got that done then I took Jim back to his place and I headed towards my place.
Little pond
I stopped by the pond for a drink of water, noting that the little pond’s water level had dropped quite a bit,because the springs were starting to slow down for the year. I got my drink of water and headed for home.
Nice day.
