Pierce Creek Update

Today,  November 2 we broke ground.  Steve, we needed some gold shovels for the show.   The crew has cleared and grubbed the site ..looking very sparse.  There are alot of BFR’ s laying around the site.

Kesler has installed the coffer dam, laid  the 24” culvert and diverted the water.  Crossed the road with culvert and terminated in plastic lined ditch returning to the stream.  The road crossing caused four separate vehicles to be delayed. The longest delay was 14 minutes.  Road put back in and compacted.

Hank  will wait till 10:30 for the Forest Service and film crew. They will then commence digging around the culvert and remove. At that time there will be a large crowd of spectators cheering and blowing their  vuvuzelas. At the Mt Home Hwy district office Monday, I told Wayne  they could inspect the culvert Thursday.

Jeff Barney cut 200 willows and has them soaking.  He  also took some good photos of the work being done.

Hope to see a dry day tomorrow,

Chris
