November 7th. The Ghost Run is over. My184 photos of the 370+ runners are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/stanmalcolm/albums/72177720336790722/

 

A short afternoon walk to Lyman Viaduct.

 

 

 

Great weather for a ride.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

November 9th. Not sure what the structure under the digger is for but the workers were meticulous in alighning it between the tracks.

 

 

 

Back after 2 P.M. and the digger was gone from this side of the bridge.

 

Grading the gravel seems close to complete.

 

Worker was doing some detail work. I learned that the bridge railings are backordered so the edges will have Jersey Barriers until the correct parts arrive. I also learned that the sidewalk extension to the other trail and it's parking area up the hill are a Hebron Public Works project, not the responsibility of this crew. The area where the Air Line Trail crosses will be graded to allow about as much parking there as before. (3 cars?)

 

The best news is that paving is scheduled for this Friday, November 13th.

 

 

 

November 10th. The Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) were back, feeding on Bittersweet (Celastrus swcandens).
