    I want to add a note of explanation here because I live near the river. He mentioned tides. The lower half of the Hudson River is actually an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean, so it has 2 tides per day. The river flows mostly in eastern New York State, dividing New York and New Jersey and flowing into the ocean.

  • @ianhaylock7409

    What a massive task that was. You made the best decision to drain it down a bit before you hit it with the chainsaw.
    Will be interesting to see how it progresses over time and to see how the flow of the river moves more mud and sticks from the mouth of the culvert.
