We Tame Hills

Last year we installed a snap cut stairway on this steep hill on Lake James.  Earlier this year Dave built a stone wall around their parking lot and we are back yet again to create a dry creek bed between the steps and a tree because it is just so darn hard to mow.  We kicked around different ideas and settled on the the creek bed which I thought was pretty much fun to build, of course I was on the tractor or the ground and not actually hauling around all these giant Missouri boulders.  The three largest rocks weighed 2800 pounds and we had to tote them down the hill.  In order to get them in place we used gravity, a tree cart, rope, our John Deere and a few good men.
