More clearing brush

James came up again today and we did more clearing brush.  I also fell a couple of cascara trees.  When we got things cleared out we could get to some old railroad ties to pull them out.

I was messing with the phone when James asked for another picture of him holding the tie.  It was sure a lot easier moving those ties with James helping, Vera and I had to use a pry bar to lift them high enough to put the strap around them.

This is the area we were cleaning up.  When we started I could hardly see the bushes we had planted years ago.  I plan on putting down fabric and bark chips when we are done.  I got the control horns installed on the Vortex and started making up the linkage this afternoon.
