Well, a couple days ago, things were looking pretty good. I'd lined up a contractor to work on fixing my road, and the power company had installed new utility poles on my property.

But then, the contractor pointed out that my driveway is undermined badly, and he can't take his equipment down there until it's fixed, and if we start getting a lot of moisture, the whole thing could crumble away. And it does look pretty bad. Well, I've already got one pickup trapped down there, so I'm not losing this one, too, so am parking up on the highway when I go there.

Different people from the power company need to come back and string wires on those new poles, but no sign of them. The town is trying to get power to another area that has more people, so I'm low on the list. This prolongs my stay in town.

The progress on the highway continues - all the washouts down to my place are fixed already. They are working their way to where it's really damaged, where you can't tell there ever was a highway.



The goal is to have the main highway to Loveland (and the rest of the world) by December 1 of this year, a huge job.
