Truck drove to our North Gate to be
unloaded
Here's Tim's shovel lifting off the two abutments
This was the easy part
Tim and Justin having a discussion on just how to lift this thing
Meanwhile the road is blocked for access to the upper twin falls home sites
First they tried to lift the whole thing and the
chain broke.
It was just too heavy. Note the white car, lower left waiting.
Next they decided to lift one end and have the truck drive forward and the end on the truck would rotate
Here the truck is inching forward
And forward a little more
Tim sets down the one end and lifts the other end and the truck drove out from
under
Dragging it off out of the way
Here it sits off to the side for two weeks
Hart Logging 'Justin' welded a set of old dual truck wheels to one end because it
needed
to go another 1/4 mile to the final location
They used the skidder's
"grapple"
to pick up one end and tow it
back to it's temporary winter storage location
Here's it's going past the house-tight turn
Parked until July 2019
Wheel hub sitting on top was welded to the center green plate.
Skidder's grapple was used to pull the bridge 1/4 mile to parking.
