Tiny Window of Opportunity

June 11 2009 by Darrin.

Every time the mud puddles nearly dry, the heavens open up again.  On Tuesday, I saw the process about to repeat and had to intervene with the loader.  A couple of strategically placed buckets of shale and the road was clear enough to make a move - as the clouds built! Here’s the cabin coming outside for the first time since January…

And the chassis on the way back to the workshop to get the torsion-free subframe components bolted down - note the ominous sky…

Sure enough, the rain started within an hour and as of Thursday morning, it really hasn’t quit yet.  We’ve had 1.9″ of rain at the ranch since Tuesday night, with solid rain coming throughout Wednesday.  We’d hoped to spend the weekend camping with old Unimog friends in Colorado on the 19th - 21st  of June, but the weather has finally killed all chances of that.  There’s just no way to make that happen now.  It’s fairly disappointing, as we’ve worked to that goal for months!
