Our marshmallow-headed, shovel-leaning road guys are hard at work, spreading the gravel as they build up the abutment on the closer side of the bridge. But wait, there’s more!
After they spread the gravel, it has to be tamped. “Tamped?” I can hear you asking. Yeppers. There is a machine for that. It is yellow, of course.
It is a heavy machine with a flat surface and it sort of vibrates and smashes the gravel into a smooth-ish surface. It weighs a lot, and it is called a Wacker. I am not making this up!
Neener, neener, I told you it was called a Wacker! Just wait until tomorrow – you won’t believe your eyes when I show you how the road guys get the Wacker out of the abutment area. Ooh, will you be able to sleep tonight with the anticipation of this new information??

I noticed … very original –
Diane, the “Sequoia Trails” part is in magic marker. Someone has nice printing!
Hi Jana,
I found you via someone else’s blog, and have had fun browsing your site already. What fun to see your drawings and paintings! Thank you. I hope to keep browsing…
Thank you for your comment on the other site about viewing suffering as being able to see God show off through it. Powerful.

Thank you for chasing me down, Jennifer! Was it from Cheryl Barker’s blog? Hers is on my short list to check almost daily, as are a few others on my Blogs I Follow list!
“Sequoia Trails’ wacker … really? … in the Sequoias hence the name? Cute!
