Twenty years ago my Dad and I took an old Ford tractor and a Bobcat loader and about a months worth of time to build a new road up the backside of our property..

Here is a video I made of a quick drive up the completed drive...

Back then that road was nothing more than a way to get to and from the Pond we had just built.It also allowed for a better way in and out during the winter.


This will make it much better at the shop and will make it easier to keep the place clean, something we spend lots of time doing!!






Here is the Pond view...
