    What Are They Doing

    They returned last night and drilled another well just across the highway from the first one.

    What Are They Doing

    I found out that the wells being drilled in my area are to monitor the watershed health. They will monitor water levels and flow rates as well as contaminants. The data is being used for watershed planning and restoration. It is part of the Clean Water Act and general restoration of the area...

    Actually, my cam will be monitoring what they do with the hole :-)

    The hole has been capped with a plate that says Monitor Well.

    There's paint on the ground all over the place. It started showing up a couple of months ago. There has also been surveyors around since spring. They have been working for miles in both directions on the highway.

    Perhaps Holt didn't get that memo since they have moved on from my place and last night they drilled through the paved shoulder of the highway about 150 to 200 feet from the first hole, and they are working in the area again tonight. I believe that as you and others have suggested that they are...

    That would be too easy :-) I looked for workers when getting home from work today but none were around. Currently there's a couple pickup trucks down the street but the workers are tucked inside to stay out of the rain.

    Salt water is close by, so perhaps.

    What Are They Doing

    There is a pedestrian bridge just to the right that was reseated on new concrete supports. It is so recent that it has not opened back up yet. I think the last thing to be done is to pave the approaches. The bridge fell a small amount a few years ago due to the creek that it crosses undercutting...

    What Are They Doing

    I didn't see a consistent repetition, and I could not see how high the pipes went when they were pulled out of the ground. It appears that they sometimes pulled the pipe out and then put it back in, and sometimes when they pulled it out they would put another one on the end, and sometimes take...

    I thought about that as well, but I watched for hours and didn't see them keeping the pipes. Perhaps they want samples from a specific depth or depths so they are only keeping small samples that I didn't see.

    That's what it looks like to me as well, but that doesn't make sense based on where they drilled.

    What Are They Doing

    They appear to be drilling, but why drill a hole in the street? They spent all day one day last week drilling, and they drilled for several hours yesterday.

    And the occasional two legged dirt bag as well. I saw this one while I was at my office, so I had to turn on a siren remotely to scare him away.

    No, I did not since I can't see down the driveway from my house. I started off with one camera that covered the front of my house and the front yard, and it was strictly for security. After seeing some critters I started to expand the camera system for wildlife viewing. I put a camera in my...

    Walnut Collecting

    No fence and no posted signs, and I don't care if people are in the end of the driveway which is something that happens most clear days. They stop by to look at the huge walnut tree and other sights. However, when they pick blackberries or collect walnuts I become aware of their rudeness. I will...

    I think he didn't like where the old guy parked his truck.

    This video was editing practice. The goal was to turn a long and boring video into a shorter and boring video while maintaining time perspective even though the camera's timestamp has been cropped out.

    Walnut Collecting

    I'm guilty of letting fruit fall to the ground as well. But in my case I have a cleanup crew. When there's pears on the ground coyotes show up to eat them. Sometimes the whole pack will show up at once for a family meal. The pears aren't very good so we don't eat them.

    Yep, the walnut collectors are in my driveway. But I don't care. They can have all the walnuts that they can gather.

    Walnut Collecting

    That's only temporary. A few years ago the bridge washed out, and they did a crappy job of repairing it. This time around they're doing a much better job. They picked up the bridge, moved it to the side, built some wooden forms for the end supports, and filled them with concrete. They recently...

    Nice video, but it doesn't match the title. Here's the young buck taking a break. Not as much action, but a bit sharper. Did it hear the coyote or smell it?
