This will be my last visit for the year, the remainder of my schedule doesn't allow me to get back until after the first of the year. Not much can be done this day as it has been raining quite a bit the previous days. Today's trip is to study the land and the water flow. After a few months of clearing up the brush and debris left from the loggers, I wanted to see how all the cleanup has helped the draining if at all.
As I had expected the field is covered with water and the expected dry spots are still dry. I am still convinced I need a pond and a ditch to channel the overflow back to the street. This would require trenching about 450 feet from the pond to the county road.
I don't see work getting started until the first of the year, again another disappointing year of progress.
