Big root
I drove on over to the shopping areas today to get my taxes and pick up some oil for the dozer. I got that done and returned home.
Dirt road check
After a short nap, I rode on up through the park to check the old road out to see how it was doing.
I found the big redwood tree root had been finished cutting it off by the park guys to make it easier for fire trucks to get by on the road.
They did a good job. It was hard to cut because of all the rocks they hit, but they got it done by keeping at it.
Old road
I’m having trouble getting the water off the road and stopping it from running down the road and causing soft spots. I stopped here to fix the ditch enough for the water to get across the road. The car’s tires keep messing it up.
The water runs down the road messing it up.
Looking up the road, you can see it’s pretty steep. I will re-do it and out slope it when it gets a bit drier.
This is looking down the road. There’s a long section here where the water keeps wanting to run down the road making it messy. It’s on my, to fix list.
After checking out the road, I rode on over to this overlook to sit and enjoy the forest for a bit, before heading towards home.
It was a nice blue sky day. Suns on it’s way down for the day.
Spring
I stopped at this spring because the water pool where the pipe goes to, isn’t flowing at full capacity as something is plugged up.
I walked down the pipeline trail a bit to check if any water was in the black pipe, by lifting it up to feel for the heavy water. Not much water going down the pipe.
Here’s the water pipe I checked for water.
I realized I needed to check the first joint in the pipe coming down the hill so walked back up to the spring and took this tee apart and that got the water flowing. It seemed to have a partial plug in it.
i realized I had to check the first joint in the pipe coming down the hill, this tee.I took it apart and the water started to flow, so it had something in the pipe plugging it up in the tee, so that got the water flowing again.
From there I headed on home for the day and put the chickens away for the night.
Nice day.
Hi Bob; you mentioned in the past that plastic weeping tile to cross the roads was unsuitable because of fire-wondered if old style clay tile might do the trick? Definitely need something to drain the water & that could withstand the weight of traffic permanently – if not tile, maybe old steel channel?The roads really do look much improved after all your effort.All the best.
