It has been about 3 weeks since the last visit to the land. Work has been slow due to weather and the excavator is in Arizona helping design and test a new skid loader.
We found a nice area of clayey material in the basin and are digging that out.
kids just messing around. They threw rocks into the puddle for an hour trying to sink a stick they launched. I remember doing exactly that when I was a kid.
pond with water from the rains. This is the front half.
Clay was pushed into the middle while the rock around the banks is excavated. Dam (not yet built) is located on the other side of the mound of dirt.
ALOT of work yet to be done. patience, patience, patience
