January 21, 2006: Removing the downhill section of the Grace ramp
Walking up the Grace Ramp - suddenly, the guard rail was a bird resting
place. Knowning nothing about birds, is this a little blue heron?
A sea gull but I have found so many variants (check out
Google Images (seagull) or
Google Images (sea gull) I am not sure about the specifics).
The walk to the Grace worksite is getting shorter and shorter.
Since Pio, Richie, Speedy and Roy work backwards - they are now on the
downhill part of the Grace ramp (uphill if you were driving up) and
soon there will be no more Grace ramp.
Their current location on the east side of the main span support
that they filled with sand last week. Only the skeleton remains - and
Monday, they will cut and remove these floor girders.
