[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 1350960, member: 15983"] There's certainly lots still to be done. Corey is staying up for the night and Jim, the guy who made that mini sing and dance, will be back to work all day tomorrow. Between him and Corey they should be a really good chuck of the small to medium size rocks moved, placed and dug in. Ralph's big excavator was kicking butt but only 1 hour into the job, a high pressure hard line blew on his hydraulics and the day was over. I talked with him tonight and he pondered trying to jury rig a repair to go back up tomorrow but with other stuff on his plate, we decided that it was better if he fixed the damage properly so that it wouldn't blow again. I think the rocks at the end of the 9 road would have been all gone if Ralph had been able to work through the day. Corey's trailer was the BOMB and loading rocks on with the excavator made everything slick and fast. James, Dave and I, with some help from Hoss, spent several hours hauling rocks and logs from alongside the Rainier Vista hill climb. We littered the trail with rocks of all shapes and sizes. These's are not buggy stoppers but they'll hold hold most smaller, open diffed rigs. We picked out a number of good sections for making difficult obstacles based on the availability of bypasses and winch points. It'll be quite a while getting all this done, be we are so on the right track. We decided not to move the massive pile of rocks from the bottom of the hill climb, up to the top of the hill climb. Instead, we're going to use the first couple hundred feet of the trail and make a massive gatekeeper, rock garden obstacle that I think all the big boys will enjoy. The last little section, right before the rock bowl, I am going to nickname, nucking futs. This is what we'll be working with when Ralph get's back up there. This is where the biggest rocks will be going and they won't be place in a very friendly manner. There will be a bypass, well maybe, we may change our mind as that get's done :haha: Big thanks to everyone who showed up. [/QUOTE]
