MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL*

Graveyard Shift


Not actually a steam shovel, this excavator and workers dig well into the night to complete this first section of road work along Alder, one of Walla Walla's major downtown business streets. Apparently, unanticipated water main replacements caused this late night crunch to keep the project moving forward in a timely manner.

  1. Yep, good old Mike Mulligan. It was like another world for my kids, not experiencing snow nor sleet, nor much cold, and knowing little about heating a house under those conditions. What a great reference.

  2. When they have to, construction crews can work quickly!

  3. Looks like hard work! Hoep they get it done in a timely manner. I know how annoying long construction can be.
