I'm scratching my head here. Dirt grows, shrinks, disappears and reappears.
Some before and afters:

That must be some prime quality dirt, because a grading company is hauling it offsite.
The pile of matchsticks is still there, and they have a new windy road up towards the top.
As for the as of yet untouched fenced parking lot:

There Jay and Nitro, relax this weekend at the park. Take your cameras next week. :wink:

If I had to guess the winding road is the new roadbed for the Dora train, looks like Dora will be shortened. Atleast the train is staying! :D Now we just need to find Swiper, and ask him to return the tracks and Azul(the train).

It's hard to tell from the pic, but they have already started putting the train track back on the gray road. It will definitely be back up before the end of the season.

So the second lift was out or what?


They had a crane working just underneath the lifts today. I don't know if that was because it valleyed or they shut it down to work on something else.

I was wondering the same thing. I would sort of get it if the car's license plates were showing, but it appears to be the front of the cars.

Out of respect for park employees. Normally I'd brush that sort of thing out, but it was too much of a pain with all that chain link in the way.

To be completely honest, I think I spotted the owners of these vehicles glaring at me.
