Only four miles completed last week. We had been running at ten, or even eleven miles per week.

Anyone have an idea, as to why the sudden slowdown?

Have not heard from the nattering nabob class of media moguls.

Maybe crews took end of summer, first week of school vacations. Enough took time off to reduce full crews available.

Hopefully they pick up the pace again soon. Still, four miles completed is four miles closer to done!

Maybe supplies...

Maybe terrain?

Three day weekend? Maybe they got to go home & see their families. As I hear they are ahead of schedule for the “450 miles by the end of the year” goal.
15 weeks left 129 miles to go, need to average 8-9 miles/week.

Actually with the scorching heat of summer nearing an end, would not be surprised if some of these last 2020 weeks have 15 miles of wall up.

Yeah the obvious 3 day labor day weekend off explains the 4 miles.
