Pictures of the Creek Crossing!

Dave has cut two channels through the creek crossing. The idea is to put two culvert pipes in the channels for the water to go through. A concrete slurry goes over that. When the water rises above the pipes, it will go over the slurry. There are many crossings like that around here. You can still drive across so long as the water is not too high and you know where the edge is.











This is the dam that Dave and Elias built to stop the flow of water through the first channel Dave wants to put the pipe through.

This is the entrance to the free-flowing channel.






This is where the two channels rejoin on the downhill side of the crossing.
