Hitch 5

Rock Crush Created for Filling Tread 80cubic feet
Drainage Ditches 90ft (~810 cubic ft of dirt
removed)

After a quick two day break, we jumped back into the field for hitch 5. The blasting project at the end of the last hitch left us with plenty of extra work to be done, so we got right to it. The blasters nearly doubled the length of the lead out ditches on most of our structures, so despite heavy rains and sloppy muddy conditions on our first several days we got the ditches all cleaned up. Throughout the hitch we switched off between this and the ever present job of making crush for the tread. Between crushing and digging we were working hard for the entire hitch and finished ready for a long break.
