The next day I counted 10 folks at one time working on this project! (Pay no attention to the truck and trailer on the bridge.)
Most of the guys wear hard hats that resemble marshmallows. These aren’t all that helpful, since there isn’t anything crashing on anyone’s heads except harsh sunlight. Michael is wishing for his signature straw hat at this job site.
It was a fantastic day of clear sunlight and great views.
Supervisor Kirk told me it was just a bunch of overgrown boys playing with oversized tinker toys and legos. Maybe, but the project is very extensive and detailed and planned. This bridge will stand for a very long time.
Looks as if they are all working for Caltrans, but they are waiting for the next load of fill. This abutment has many layers of material.
See?
To be continued tomorrow, same time, same place.

The straw hat beats the marshmallow head in my book, but these guys are really safety conscious. And I bet we could lean on shovels just as well as these guys!
… must be a man-thing to lean on a shovel – and yes, Mike, you should wear your straw hat …
