Kapotnya & Paukan
I was looking at the old town maps the other day and noticed how the river used to change course. Got me thinking—maybe those old stories about the river’s tricks could actually give us clues about building a safer route for today. What do you think?
Ah, the river’s always been a trickster, eh? Those old maps are like the river’s diary and the stories are the footnotes. If we listen to what the past’s telling us, the river is basically handing us a guidebook—just remember it’s still wild. Build a route that respects its moves, not one that tries to tame it.
Sounds like a solid plan—just keep the route on a straight line of sight, avoid the bends, and have a fallback path if the river decides to shift. I’ll map the best options; you just tell me where we’re allowed to cut corners.
Sure thing, just keep the cuts away from the old stone bridge—that spot’s still shaky. Stick to the levee on the east side, leave a good buffer, and don’t cut in at the willow bend. That way the river’s got room to play and you stay safe.
Got it. East side levee, keep the bridge and willow bend clear, and we’ll have a safe buffer. I’ll draft the route now.
