The "low impact roadbuilding" must be near completion, as we have had several days of blasting (I don't recall any mention of dynamite from Tsain-Ko et al). The road consists of 30 to 60 cm of well packed crushed rock - a better base than most of us have on the public roads in the area.
The ravens and jays in particular continue their raucous complaints while the workers are around, although I expect it will be a quiet spring with bird populations displaced.
I am attaching some recent photos of the area, painful as it is."
