Getting from There. . .to Here


      It’s December, time for a look back, how we got from “There”. . .


 
                                              to "here". . .
 

 
                                          Or from. . . .

 
                                       to. . . .

 
     It began with two guys on an ATV carrying laths with little white pieces of cloth on them. 

 
 

                                        The sign says “119”.  Then came the flag followers.

 

        
 
                                              Then they really dug in.
 

  
 
      There followed a series of “pours”.  The cement work just made things harder—(sorry, couldn’t resist.)

 

                                          Miles of rebar topped the foundation.

 

        

 
 
 
                                              More cement

 
 
 

                                           Back went the excavated earth.

 

    If you didn’t know there were many tons of concrete and multiple miles of rebar lurking beneath the innocent-looking pad, you would be tempted to think not much had happened between April and the last day of June.  Imagine what an archaeologist, 2000 years in the future, will think when he stubs his toe on that little fellow.

     Next installment, the towers revisited.
