Hmmm, it's Sunday should we go shovel some dirt?

Isn't that what everyone does on Sunday's?  Mark, Sandy, Julie, Jim, and I headed up to the spring box and dam on the other side of the freeway to see what needed to be done.

Looks a little filled up with dirt, don't it!  As Mom and I diverted the water away from the clean out, Mark had the tough job of getting the rusty old bolts off.  Boy was it black and mucky like when we opened it up.  Some preferred to observe rather than jump in the black water.  We diverted the water back once we opened the valve to let the water help with the work and in no time we created a nice large reservoir for the water to collect and fill the spring box.
