KCA Ranch. A Work in Progress.

[Chew]

Going to talk a lot of dirt to fill that hole.

Not sure I would use bags of concrete.

If the culvert join is leaking that might could cause future issues.

Looks like the root grubber worked good on the bigger ones.

Emailed the neighbor last night. He is working nights at a plant but said he will get to it as soon as he can. I'm thinking dirt is just gonna wash away again so gonna take something else. Do you think unopened bags of quickcrete that harden in place wouldn't help support the dirt above it? Just a thought. I'm not sure what to do if he can't fix the culvert. I know the culvert was a major ordeal and cost him a ton of money due to the creek being there.

I'm not sure what would work.

My thoughts on the concrete.

It would make it much harder to make repairs in the future if needed.


If caused by water run off it would be different that if caused by a leaking culvert pipe.

Good point about the concrete. I'm hoping it's just the crazy amount of rain we've had that overflowed the culverts where they are joined together.

Been too wet to do much. StanR had welded me up a new 3ph toy to put on my tractor for moving trailers and using as a lift with the chain hooks. I wanted to try it out with the brush grubber/yaupon puller so I did one quick tree by the camp. It worked out nicely.








Pulled trail cams at the back hill and the creek feeder. Not too many deer but was happy to see a bachelor group of young bucks had found my new creek feeder and hit it a few times. I need to get some stands set up at that spot before it gets too late in the year.













Couple mature looking does at the hill feeder:










Mamma's little garden is doing well. Looks like the rain had beat it down some but she got it looking better. Jalapeños are doing well. Squash, cukes, and green beans are doing good too.

Can't wait for it dry out so I can get busy fixing all the washouts from the rain.

Chew,

Glad I could help on the tractor thing.

I can't wait to go on the guided free range Elephant Hunt.

i havent even seen the place yet, other than on google earth. told my dad i was thinking about going to look at a place in that area, 2 days later he sent me info on this place. 6 more acres, + cabin, for less than you can buy most USED rangers. long story, but family land in a round about way, that i never knew existed.
