Rig in the river (pic)

[David Johnson]

Thought I'd share a couple pictures of that rig that went into the Clackamas R.

[Ty]

Nice pictures Dave!!!!!!

[Bonneville Dan]

Bet there's a winter or two hugging the bottom behind the bucket.

[rock bottom]

I bet that didnt make for such a good day [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

[David Johnson]

I have no idea how they're going to get it out, you can see how high the bank is and it's a pretty unstable bank at that.

[Muddy Water]

Why get it out, it could be a tourist attraction like the New Carrissa.

[Thick-N-Thin]

Wow....I read about it, but it looks a whole lot worse than I imagined with the high bank as it is.

Thanks for the pic DJ

[Blazerboy]

Wow, I didnt even hear about it, thanks for sharing Dave.

[fishchaser]

They first have to clean up the road so they can bring in a crane big enough to pull that up out of the river. I think they were going to try and shore up the hill first.

[Ty]

Dude where did u park my escavator????

[Premo]

Was that near the boys home??

[Ryan Pultz]

wow one thing the water looks nice color so you did not say how was the fishing.

[fishnpray]

Hmm- Thanks for the pics Dave. It's definitely not going to be easy to pull that fella out of the water. Takes some doing as is.

[BigFishFever]

WOW great pic...

That recovery project would be a fun one to watch...I can see em now scratching there heads trying to figure out how in the.....

[Jennie@ifish]

That's not just a rig! Thats a BIG BIG DIGGEE!

[Akuracy503]

WHOA how that happen in the first place.??!!

[husker]

while trying to fix a slide....the area they were working in gave way...and the dozer went in the drink too

[Predator Dawg]

I sure hope the fuel cap is on tight, that could make a real mess for years to come...

[CATCH AND EAT]

Thanks for sharing the picture David.

[Get Bent]

David I thought your new boat was white :grin: That floats kinda deep in the water must be hard to side drift with :grin: :grin:

[onstep]

They are going to have to cut that thing out piece by piece. Of course we can now call the upper end of boys home the cat hole. It will be like the old days when we had the Car Body just up stream from the Coffee Hole.

[Salmon Stryker]

Amazing how that little tree is holding her from washing down the river. :grin: I didn't hear about this either. Was anyone hurt?

[jet]

I hope there are no fluids leaking out of the New Carissa on the Clackamas

Jet~~~

[Jennie@ifish]

I wonder if you could plunk from that?

You could probably find a couple built in rod holders.

All kidding aside, I am so glad no one was hurt. That's a miracle.

I hope, too... that there are no fuel leaks.

[Chrome Bumper]

That sucker is a total, no need to worry about additional damage on the way out.

[Kruechief]

"scrape it Clyde!" :shocked:

PlayinHookyNooky wins!!

It took him only five minutes form the original posting to calculating where to cast. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

[Grandpa Lynn]

Certainly puts a whole new perspective on things..

[salmurai]

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. At least the seat got washed! :grin:

[Blue Tip Spinner]

my buddie and i took photos of the same wreck last night. ours have more of the tractor showing though.

[Woody]

My guess is they'll probably have to have Columbia Helicopters or Campbell Crane come in and pick it up. Those guys can pick up some HUGE stuff. That little backhoe will be easy.

In either case, I would LOVE to be there.

I sure hope the operator had his "Skid Lid" on! Any injuries? Remember the Cement mixer that fell into the Rogue River below Agness in the Copper Canyon? Still there! If that thing gets mudded/silted/graveled in it might be a tough lift. A job for the "TERMINATOR!" Anyone have Arnies phone number at his new digs?
Get that thing out the RIVER NOW!!!!!! Rots 'o Ruck!

:shocked:

[corkyking]

Structure! Bank protection. You know the "Excavator Hole" just down from the "Car Body Hole"

[Wet_Willy]

It'll be interesting to see what builds up around it if this high water event comes off. Should be a nice debris pile after that.

[SlappinH20]

A good operator would have drove it out

[fishing is life]

So are we going to start calling it the tractor hole now? If they leave it in there it could be good holding water.

I hope they tell us when they are going to pull that thing out.

[hawgcatcher]

With the forcast for 2 inches of rain, that thing may just wind up covered in silt and rock. Then the weight might get a little much.

Maybe like Jennie said, make it into a fishing platform. Pour a little concrete on it and a trail down to it and another platform.

[anger management]

I have a friend who works for the county who is helping in cleaning the slide. My buddy told me they will be using a crane.

[SPAZZ]

:shocked: I'm sure glad that wasn't me

[Seefood Man]

That's no problem if it's a Caterpillar, it can crawl out on it's own. :tongue:

[SteelieSlammer]

That will be a hard one to explain to United Rentals.

[Scruffy Bearded Varmint]

I suspect that sucker won't be salvageable following the high water. I would not even be surprised if the water moved it down stream a far piece. Has anyone looked at today?

[superfly]

Three Words, Sikorsky Sky Crane !!!!
I cut timber under one a time or two and they have got some pickin power.
Also there is not enough fuel or Hydro fluid in there to do any kind of damage.
Peace

[Irie1]

RR Have ya seen the movie final destination II?
PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIGNS! :shocked:

[IFISH4U]

After this upcoming flood it may end up downiver quite aways, who knows. Glad noone was hurt. :shocked:

[parthur]

Isn't that a red tackle box sitting next to the drivers seat ?

And I think I see an IFish sticker too.........

Coincidence ???

[Big Dog]

Well at least the rental company can not say they did not clean it. :grin:

[Timber Man]

Hope everyone made it out ok!
