WORK BEGUN ON CORDRY SPILLWAY

Equipment arrived today to the Cordry Spillway area.  Some area on the backside was cleared for "work room" on the backside of the spillway.  The actual project is to replace the metal spillway tube that was installed back in the 1960's.  It has rusted through allowing water run-off to undermine the area underneath the tube and cement on the spillway.

THE EDINBURGH DAM

 If you trave the State Road 252 through Edinburgh, you've probably seen the dam on Blue River.  The Thompson Mill Dam faild in 2023.  Demolition has begun this past week.  The dam was built to furnish water for the Thompson Mill water wheel.  The dam was later given to the town of Edinburgh and it supplied some electricity to the town.  "Low Head" dams around the state and country are being removed due to safety issues.

ACORN YEAR

 It's going to be an acorn year!  Seems that this occurs about every other year.  It's almost like bombs coming out of the sky!  Be carful walking on hillsides.....like walking on marbles!


Keep your cars in a safe place.

FALL COLORS

 It's already begun!!!   Some trees are already showing color.  This may be due to the extremely dry period we've been having lately.  This particular tree is always one of the first to show color.
