Persistance

After being on the road commission's "list" of ditches that need cleaned out and various u-turns on my part to climb up on county dump trucks to talk to the drivers about what could be done, we finally found a solution. Without mentioning "The Gatekeeper" and the obsurd hoops we jumped through to get ahold of the right individual, we simply filled out an application, paid a measly $10 to the county (then paid a whole lot more to rent the excavator) and simply did it ourselves.

There is hope for a great (dry)horse pasture someday.

BIG SHOUT OUT TO

QUALITY LAKESHORE LANDSCAPING

FOR BEING SO GENEROUS

WITH THEIR DUMP TRUCK!!

and to the volunteer who drove the dumper

and enjoyed air conditioning all day..

Everyone helped

Delivering water was essential





 A job always needs

way too many supervisors



 And of course,

a photographer

This was Doug's idea of fun
