Since this is pipeline day I'll post some pictures of them putting the gas line across our place in '73. Funny story goes with it too. Dad was talking with the foreman about the muck at the bottom of the pasture (shown in first picture). Dad was trying to tell him it was very wet, guy told him "you dumb hick", or words to that effect " this isn't bad I've put pipes across worse places in Mississippi and the Amazon... blah blah blah...", talked to Dad like he was some kind or moron. They started across where the dark area is towards the top of the picture. The next morning the only part of the excavator you could see was the boom sticking out of the muck and it was still sinking. They came and asked dad if they could come across the high ground with some big dozers to pull it out. Dad told him since he was so F*****G great they could just come down the right of way. The had to cat in 2 D9 for over a mile from the next road crossing. After that the BIG boss came and apologized to Dad, and we let them have another access from the side road. The concrete saddles were to hold the pipe down in the wet area.
