They're getting closer

I mentioned a week or so ago that there is a crane on a barge in the river near the Spy Run  bridge over the St. Mary's River.  They have been busily clearing inderbrush along the banks of the river and now the stretch that I can see is quite bare along the stretch where Hall's Gas House and the Deck are located. except for a few large trees that they left standing.  I think this is all part of the ongoing effort to reinforce the banks and reduce runoff but it isn't very pretty.  Now I'm wondering (1) how will they get their equpment to my side of the bridge and (2) how much are they going to clear away?  There are actually two old half-dead cottonwoods that I expect will fall in the river sometime soon.  They can go, but there is also a lot of very pretty shrub and tree growth along both banks.  Honestly, I wish they would just leave my view of the riverbank alone. Ah well, time will tell. At least it's an interesting (if slow moving) show that I can tune into from time to time.
