    Yes Gerry it is cool how nature takes back what is hers. Carl we thought about it and decided against it. We only have a sixty foot bucket truck so to be able to reach a good amount we would have to nose up tight leaving a small drop zone and still not reach everything. With the loose cinders...

    Tying off to a vehicle

    Yeah I plan on coming off the edge to the road at least once just for fun. A new climb line for each of us is on my job requirement list( to replace the ones we are gonna use).

Sorry I can't think of the proper...

    Tying off to a vehicle

    I just looked at a job for the RR and it entails clearing the trees off of an older bridge forty feet above a state route. The road will be closed so traffic isn't a problem. The grade from the tracks to the bridge sides is. It's almost cliff like. The top layer of soil is cinders from back in...
