Ditch Witch


I had not heard of a ditch witch before today. We have to dig a trench to put the winterized waterline in from the well to the lodge. It is only 135 feet and the ditch does not have to be very deep but our attempt to dig it by hand failed. The ground is so rocky and hard that it was impossible. Today the 'ditch witch' arrived and this photo is of Travis guiding while Mike is running the machine. They have completed the trench we need for the waterline in one afternoon.

It is a great day to work outside. It is close to 75 degrees today and sunny. We have already had several frosts so I think this would be called an Indian Summer. We are going to enjoy it while it lasts.
