Dam Repairs

It's been over twenty years since we had repairs made on our dam, and this year a couple of bad spots developed.  We had a local contractor come in to dig out the soft spots, and refill them a few days ago.  Anyone who tells you that trees are slow growing has never had a pond dam.  I haven't worked on it for a few too many years, and I have to go into lumberjack mode this fall to clear the dam again.  Oh well, we can use the firewood.  I dropped a sycamore that was fourteen inches diameter at breast height with fifteen growth rings so the backhoe could work on one spot.  These things are overtaking me!
