A Crane's Journey of 130 Miles

Allan had a job in East Carbon yesterday. We left at 6, because it’s 130 miles away. Got to Spanish Fork summit by 7 a.m. Hurray! Road construction on Highway 6. It’s a small delay.

‘Passed’ the Port of Entry & truck was ‘A’ okay! Entered Castle Country and had a lovely day. Found the East Carbon turn-off sign pointing the way. Crane & man was at the job. Let’s set up and stay.

Allan invited me to go with him to do a crane job in East Carbon, while he took materials off of a newly completed church roof. While driving up Spanish Fork Canyon, I decided to document the trip. It is fun to share what we did as we journeyed to Carbon County. Neither of us knew this tiny town existed. We arrived on the job at 8:30 a.m. and Allan got right to work. Total time craning was about two hours, including securing the load he was bringing home and retracting the crane. I took a mile walk on their paved trail. Here's a few photos of the town hall and park.
