I think you found the only mud hole in the July desert!

I managed to find some new ditch digging talents today at a H. for H. build in Oxnard. I like the high tech jobs!

If I made a mess like that, I think I would kick dirt over it, walk away with a smug look, and head for the nearest Ford dealership.

Yeah, but then you wouldn't have a cool extraction video... Plus that '13 couldn't get near as far in the muck as the '73 (not sure that's a good thing...).

Sean, did I see that trench being back-filled using a whacker?

Good on you guys for doing it right! Nobody seems to want to re-compact the soil any more, and it always shows up later.....
