Cleaning out the Creek

This past week we rented a large excavator and used it to dig the silt out of the creek on holes 13 and 17.  This large machine was able to reach across the creek and easily remove the large sand bars and silt deposits that have been left over many years of washing from upstream.  We even found a tire and a Pepsi can that look like it was from the 1980s!  All this proves that the silt has been deposited over a long period of time, so let's hope our work is not all for nothing and the creek remains cleaned out for years to come!  We will still be doing more work to finish the project, but the worst stuff has been removed!

This silt deposit in front of 17 tee box was 4 feet deep!
