Smoothing the Road

9/23/05 - 9/25/05

 

What a fun and full weekend! Rob made alot of progress on smoothing the road with the box blade. He's really starting to get the hang of it, and has been grading everything in sight!

We also set up 'Loretta's' new game camera. It's a motion activated camera that you fasten to a tree. Well, Rob needed an excuse to get it, so it was supposed to be a birthday present.... but it was backordered, so he tried to call it an early anniversary present. In any case, it's a lot of fun, and we hope to get some great pictures of wild game in the area.

This is why they call it 'fall'. Most of the trees will be bare soon. (slideshow)


It's cooler in the mornings now. Here, Rob and Wes share a few quiet minutes in the early morning.


Tree right in front of our camp.... it's a good conversation piece. (slideshow)

 

Yep - definitely fall. Wes has visitors in his chest of drawers.


We found a very neat cave on our property near the 50-foot cliffs (which are probably closer to 75-100 feet, but our original name for them has stuck)


Look at the interesting pattern on this huge rock that we found in the ravine.

 

Rob has tilted the box blade so he can start leveling the road in front of camp. He has a huge load in it.


Look at how smooth the road is getting in front of camp!


We got a great deal on canopy, so now we can keep the tractor implements under cover. It was pretty easy to set up - about an hour and a half, including figuring out the directions, and leveling it.

 

Our first wild game pictures! (slideshow)
