Well rats on the scrub. I hear rain coming in for new years so keep scrubbing that rocket, wouldnt want it to get dirty...

Theres quite a few gabion type structures up the metcalf drainage along 2n10, they form little dams and make for summer ponds, metcalf creek drains out of cedar lake 24/7/365. The only thing missing from that whole aquatic ecosystem is ...

On fhe repair at hwy 38 at Foresee Ck. The pic of the wall that looks like it has steps. Its a gabion wall.

i had to look up gabion wall.

From google

A gabion wall is a retaining structure made from wire mesh baskets (cages) filled with rocks, concrete, or other materials, creating a strong, permeable, and flexible barrier used for erosion control, landscaping, and military defense.

These walls allow water to drain freely, preventing hydrostatic pressure, and can move with the earth, unlike rigid concrete, making them durable for freeze-thaw cycles. They are popular in landscape design for their natural look but can also be bulky and host vegetation.

From one of the workers.

The ones here, used on the 38, are 18”x18” tiers with 3’ of geogrid and filter fabric into the slope at each step. These cages here are filled with rock.

Thx SCM for the heads up on the scrub.... I was at Stanfield with my camera ready to go, checked the SpaceX stream and the countdown clock was stuck at -38m. Your post confirmed my suspicion. I passed the word to another photog who I met at Stanfield (also gave her the heads about this awesome site 😁👍)
