New Road

[kucala5]

We lost our lease on what basically provided access from one piece of land to another.
Today, we had a quarter mile of road cut for an alternate route. We plan to use the decking as a fence for now on the right side. Our girls are easy so should follow us right down or up as the case may be unless curiosity get the best of any one of them. We should be moving them to those pastures in June .

Special small midget breed they only have in Arkansas. Nothing they let anybody else see. Bahahahahahaha. Just playing!!!
I like them pretty sure they are called dogs.

Any chance they're hot wire broke? A couple rolls of wire stretched thru there wouldn't cost much to buy or put up, you can roll it back up when you're done and do it again next time.

Where you at is Arkansas? Southern Mo/Northern Ark is one of my favorite regions.

That is going to need a pile of stone added, but looks good.

Use Hot Wire.

Yep. Very familiar with hot wire. So much so we could probably put it up without a charge on it!
We are in North Central Arkansas. Flippin to be exact.

Any chance you know JoAnn and Wallace Sneed? Horse people. Wallace passed a couple years ago. They were Flippinites for many years.

I know of them, I know a Brad Sneed who I believe would be their grandson.

Get some waterbars on the road before it starts eroding.

Brad must be one of Mitch's kids. Karen and David both have girls. We have lots of memories with the family from years past.

I just looked up what a waterbar is. Looks like various ways to make one. Any suggestions of what to use that would be "cheap and cheerful"? Photos welcome.

Primary use will be side x side...tractor as needed. We have highway access as well.

Me too. I've seen them but always thought they were just some joker's idea of a speed bump on rural and USFS roads.

There are diagrams available from forestry agencies and NRCS. They are not rocket science but they make a road endure better than if let to erode. You can build them with anything with a scoop, bucket, turn plow, '' but the key is the placement to protect the road and to get the water totally away from the road. They have a speed bump look but that is not the real reason.
