Harv,
First of all great picture of your Mom. She is a darling! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
And I love YOUR shirt! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
From the pictures it looks like you have gotten that path as smooth as one can with a box blade. If you could get ahold of a rock rake it might clean it up some more....
Instead of trying to get a mirror finish can you add crush and run(ABC), mulch, pine straw, etc to that path? I have put down some stone, I think its a #7 stone, to use as a parking spot as well as a path and part of a patio. The stone is a granite maybe 1/4 to 1/8 inch in diameter so its pretty small but it makes a nice looking path/patio/parking area. Its not a big rock that can cause an ankle turn either. You don't want to walk on it in your bare feet though. Mulch and pine straw would allow her to use the path after rains so she would not be in the mud. And if she happened to fall, mulch and pine straw would at least have some give.
Would any of this work?
Later...
