The temperatures were over a 100 and the Heat Index at 110 so the old dump was out of the question. At least at the ol trestle I would be in the water to cool off if I needed too. The place is overgrown with kudzu.

The place looked pretty much like I left it almost a year ago. The winter rains had exposed some trestle or bridge beams.

Part of the temporary dam that I did last year to divert the stream was still there.

The old bridge pilings were still there. I never had a chance to dig to the bottom of these before the high water forced me out last fall.

I decided to dig in the stream bed since the water was only knee deep because of the drought. There are still bottles in the stream bed unter tons of bricks, rocks, and trash.

The amazing thing about these bottles is how clean these bottles are out of the creek bed. All I had to do was pour the sand out. Staight Sided Coke, NuGrape, Lime Cola , Orange Crush, art deco soda etc.
