A hydraulic excavator moves slabs of rock that the engineers dug up after moving about 12 inches of soil. Once the 19th Engineers hit a bed of rock, they used “rippers” on the front of the dozers to break up the rock so the HYEX could remove it. The task became more time consuming because they had to dig up the rock before they could move the soil to form the defensive positions.

A few photos I took back in September, when the machines had taken over High Street just north of Hudson.

These machines are so big that, especially looking at scenes like this, I feel like a mouse trying to grab crumbs off the floor while people are eating.

Well yes, I know its pretty silly to post a tractor, but i learned to run this thing last week and had a pretty good time with it too ;). It's a big toy...see, I got you guys figured out, you call it work..but it's really play. ~~

Camp Maintenance by virithos

The other people watching the backhoe do its work. I think I was the only one there just to watch the machine. The camp host seemed to think I was scoping out firewood.
