Rocking the Dirt Road To Beat the Coming Rains

Wednesday December 11, 2024 Guerneville CA.

Last day before it rains

I only had today to do what I needed to do to get things ready for the rains that are coming tonight.

I had most of the road in shape for the rains, but I still had a few things to finish up.

I rode up the road to where the Skidder was parked.road1

Brush

I stopped here to cut this brush out of the way.brush2

Of course that makes brush so I got it cleaned off the road.brush3

Fuel

I made it up to where Skiddy was parked. It was out of fuel, so I fueled it up for a days work.fuel4

A full fuel tank means I can work all day long.full5

I hauled rock down the road.rock6

To the wet spots, such as this spring that is crossing the road and making some mud.wet7

And then I headed back up to get another bucket full of rock.road8

And back down the road again with another load of rock. I did that for most of the day and got done what I wanted to get done before it rains.rock8

The last thing I did was to cut a small drainage ditch across this road so the spring water that pops out of the hill will cross the road and not run down it.drain10

I finished up just before dark and was satisfied with the work.

Let it rain.

Nice day.
