After a year of working on the pond the project is just about to the end. Fish and wildlife folks came out and shot a level line for me today. We have a mini excavator on reserve for next week. Next week the drain will go in and the dam will be leveled with dirt. This year's work consisted of removing 50 or so trees, a repair to the breach in the dam, digging an emergency over flow and of course the building of the road to the pond. Wow it has been a hard year.
