Backhoe (Aug 18, 2006)

In June the authorities came in with large equipment to start the huge job of repairing the landslide damage. Up on the mountain they made rock retention walls to support the logging roads and hopefully to help prevent further slides. They have cleaned the farmhouse land of the tons of rocks, mud, and trees. They have brought in truckloads of large rocks and gravel. They have dug a system of deep trenches to guide the water in heavy rains. They constructed a retention wall out of huge rocks and filled the gap with the extra dirt. They are currently leveling that into a small ball field, which is something we have always wanted. They built another small retential wall and leveled out a small parking lot. They dug us a road up to the barn behind the farmhouse. This was inaccessible before by almost any  kind of vehicle.
