Daily adventures



So much has gone on recently! I have been given big projects to make center lines on old and new roads; a center line tells you where the center of a road is so when making a road and is used as a blueprint where future roads or changes can be made. After I received this project I quickly came to the realization that the road I was making the center line for was inaccessible for any type of vehicle and I spent two days getting stuck and covered with mud and soaked past my shoulders, I can’t complain though I did have a lot of fun going through the mud and water. My current project now going through all the roads doing culvert inspections, the maps I was working on earlier last month were preparation for this massive project. In a culvert inspection you look for under sized culverts and if there is erosion on the site you need to make lots of notes and come back later to put up silt fences to slow down the erosion from getting to the water and try to help out and vegetation that could hold together the landscape.  Also during this inspection you are making sure that there are no problems that could affect fish that could be going through the water course. I’m really enjoying this project so far and it’s something I’m almost taking full responsibilities for. So with this blog post I included a link to a survey about my blog and if you can take a few minutes out of your day to go through the survey it will be appreciate. I’m hoping after a people complete my survey I will get a better understanding what people want to hear about and see in my blogs. Also during this week I will start to attach photos I have been caching to different post like some of the culverts I have been working on and different adventures I have been up to on my days off!
