Digging where the scenery is really nice

AIS speicalizes in difficult jobs.  The down side is the jobs are, well, difficult.  One of the upsides is that we work in a lot of scenic areas.  Here's a picture from a landslide repair we completed near Mariposa, California.  This picture shows a spyder excavator working to clear landslide debris from a slope high above Highway 49 and the Merced River.  The picture doesn't show it, but the temperature was routinely over 100 degrees in the canyon.  The cool river was very inviting, but we had a rule - no swimming until after qutting time.
