One buried and another dug.

One really was buried but the city side abutment hole was excavated just enough as a test.   We wanted to see what was down there.

Mark's "digger" is returning the dirt.

  

The digger moves over the new footer towards the old bridge.

These two photos will give you an idea why we love to work down here.

We're also keeping this trail open.

 

We were told that someone was watching over this project.

A trail Gnome?

Done!

The view from the tool trailer.

This is our test hole on the city side of the bridge.  
Nonesuch shale was found and that's what we need to anchor a footer to.
