July 22, 2006: Mt. Pleasant and Billy Ward
Walking down memory lane - the old Grace access road.
Sparky met Billy Ward today and watched the 995 in action. Serious
cleanup after Mickey and Ken
The access road
Here is Billy Ward working away
scooping
and moving
and dropping
more scooping
moving and dropping
Meet a recent addition of the team: Billy Ward
Then walking down the road to the old Grace ramp
closer and more memories
sort of a peg-leg Grace
And in the background, Michael's praying 1250 on the right, Mickey's new
Copco on the right and in the middle the 995 is doing some scooping and
moving and dropping from the river bottom to the barge
And to the left is the new Mt. Pleasant observation pier with floor girders
spanning the old Pierman pier bases
Back on the Cooper RIver - Michael's praying 1250
Mickey's new Copco and to the right, the 995 doing its scopping, lifting
and dropping
When the 995 scoops up a mouthful of stuff you can't even see the boom
then slowing the 995's neck appears
with a mouth full of debris
rotates
and drops - just like Billy does it
Now walking back up the access road
There is Billy still scooping, moving and dropping
rotating
and dropping
