So I took a right and checked out the newly expanded road to Chesapeake. There the city also recently made a new crossing of the creek bed (Chesapeake property or is it a sewer easement?). It's now a bunch of white rocks at a level several feet below the recent grade, with water rushing through to erode what was left of the "improvement."Stenotrophomonashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776065431285843705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439803544142853007.post-5113032418828979122012-01-25T06:56:57.275-06:002012-01-25T06:56:57.275-06:00Stenotrophomonas, I suspect you are correct, those...Stenotrophomonas, I suspect you are correct, those new creek crossing are likely history, even as I type that they are likely history. The heavy equipment traffic, post mud, had smoothed out the bad rutting. I hope they don't get back on the hills post-rain, this time, and re-rut the road. It was hard to walk on in that condition.Durangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231271044296466883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439803544142853007.post-89459762911582242602012-01-25T00:27:14.682-06:002012-01-25T00:27:14.682-06:00I was in the Hills a couple hours after you.

The ground must've been somewhat saturated as the water was puddling up within minutes of the rain having started.<br />So the water will drain swiftly through the creeks that cross Tandy Highway. Already the Juggernaut with the giant treads has depressed the new crossings by several inches. By the time the Hills dry out I would bet that they will have washed away.Stenotrophomonashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776065431285843705noreply@blogger.com
