How you doing Kate?
Annual tourist cleaning
Was referring to Mother Nature!
It’s gonna be interesting to see how that big backhoe does moving that big slab, or if they have to call in a highly-skilled powder-monkey and break it up in place. They most likely wouldn’t need to set any big charges with the whole thing on the highway, and perhaps avoid a larger shock wave moving through the formational materials and unexposed fissures.
No matter how one slices it, it is a highly risky operation. Not the most desirable place in the world to stand, hard hat or no hard hat!
Caltrans does some 'challenging' jobs along CA-1. This one doesn't look too bad. Looks like they got a good, experienced operator for that big Excavator. Remarkable machines!
Kate, if you or any of your other readers wants to see some examples of Heavy Eqpt jobs gone wrong -- often SPECTACULARLY wrong, have a look at the FB group Mining Mayhem. Too late for me to find you one -- but there are some doozies!
As always, thanks for keeping us informed! We're kinda enjoying the short (we hope!) break in Big Sur traffic through Cambria.....
