making dust

Since we have been here the crew has been working to remove the top soil on this ranch, at the owners request.  BTW, we are here at the owners request, not the companys.
Yesterday they moved 11000 lineal feet (over two miles) of topsoil in a path that I am guessing is 40-60 foot wide.
Today they kept moving closer and closer to us. And making lots of dust. Of course the wind has to blow in our direction....could not be blowing the other way.
Anyway they got here, and have moved across the road to continue removing the top soil. According to one of the supervisors we should not have any one here the next couple of days. Than they will start to bring in the 12 inch pipe, and start digging the trench. They will bore under the road and I understand that that takes some big equipment, which is why we will have to move.
Here are a few pictures of what is going on....remember you can click on a picture to make it bigger.




In the background you can see the crew working further back away from us.
Now we sit and wait for the next phase.
love to all of ya
Jim and Linda

    1. Thats for sure.... told Linda it seems strange being this close to civilization after being basicly isolated since the end of October.....lots of traffic on the road moving at 70+ mph during the day. It slows down a little at nite.
