A baby grand canyon

Last year it rained 13" in 24 hours. For an area of the country that receives a total annual rainfall of approximately 17", that's a lot. Ahem.

The result? About a quarter of a mile of the field washed away.

So that's a problem because it uncovered irrigation pipeline, and made it dang difficult to get a tractor through there. Enter the dump truck and four days of moving dirt. A whole lot of dirt.

A whole, whole, whole lot of dirt.

In the end, that quarter mile was all filled in real perty like. Kudos to Nicholas for orchestrating a successful dirt-saving operation.
