    Here are some more pictures from the same job. Beautiful country. These pictures were taken about the middle of August. We used Volvo A40D haul truck to haul the "hot" material down the mountain to a containment area. The haul road was around 30 to 40 percent slope.

    "Hot" material?....Does that mean contaminated with something?

    Hot material is a heavy metal material. When this material get wet it seeps out a highly acidic ooz, whick kills every plant it contacts.

    X2 CoyoteKurtz, How did you like the machines? Both the 350D and the 750JLGP are one of my favorite machines to run specially the 750. Just get a winch,limb risers, and some screens and thats my kind of dozer :notworthy

    The euipment ran fairly good for that elevation. You could sure tell a difference when you got back down to the bottom of the mountain. We tried a Komatsu haul truck and it wouldnt make the climb. I love the 350D. The 750J is a sweet machine. I dont like the angle blade switch how it is on the side of the control.

    Wow cool place. So whats happening there a bunch of houses or what? I love it when they say the world is over poplulated and there are so many places with millions of acres with no one in site. With people loosing jobs etc. there is the thing to bale folks out. LAND at the same price that all those rail roads and logging companys got it for. With a stipulation ya can't sell it or profit from it. Just live and grow your own food on it.
