Finally got the culvert open. Took a 12 foot homemade rake and a lot of hard work, but we did it. You should have seen the s#@t fly when we punched through.

We dropped the water level over a foot in 24 hours.

We were 3 very tired old guys when we finished. Next step is to repair/improve the road and either replace the existing culvert with a larger one or to build a bridge over the creek.


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
