Oddly enough, the primary purpose of the project was not to dig a pond, but to build a big earth bank at the other end of the site for shovels to dig into.
This is the HCEA museum site, which hosts the HCEA international convention approximately every other year.
Much of the work is being done by the Operating Engineers training program.
This is what I did for T. Boone Pickens on his Mesa Vista Ranch in Pampa Texas for 3 years. Dig a lake...dig a creek connecting it to the next lake...and on and on and on.
Must be nice to have enough money to burn a wet elephant
I was there Saturday and Sunday.

Pond, thats more like a lake!
Was this something the public could watch, a lot of the machinery seems to be vintage?

Yes, it was open to the public. It was the HCEA Convention. I found out about it on the internet just by chance and attended myself.
