Building a Trail on the Property!

When we have the grandkids out to the property they want to ride the 4-wheelers ... (of course!) ... and we decided that we would build a little 'quad trail' for them to ride on so they can stay off the roads. The problem was we needed to clear some branches so it could be done. David and Jen came out with her kids and we all worked on the project. (Above: Nathan, Tyler, Jacob and David clearing the trail)

We also had to dig cactus that was growing in the trail ... another big project. (Above: David, Dennis, Nathan, Kelly and Jen are digging the nasty stuff!!)

Jacob especially LOVED the trail ... I think he drove around it at least 12 times!! (It is about .2 of a mile! Short and sweet!!) His legs almost don't reach the floor boards ... but we have them drive it in LOW gear so they can keep in control better. It was a good project.

Here is Dennis going through the trees trying out the fun new trail. It gets a little dusty in a few places ... so maybe in the future we will add a little gravel to help with that problem!

How fun! I didn't think the trail would be done so fast. Looks like you had some dedicated workers to help you out.

Impressive! Looks like the grandkids are going to want to come out and ride more often. And many hands seem to have helped get it done fast. :)
