Monday evening and Lucy has arrived and promptly gets stuck!!!! On Top of a dry hill!!! Lucy blames the driver. Bobby was taking pictures but I think Harvey told him something because he has no pictures of me pulling him out with the Kubota.

Was Lucy stuck because she was trying to pull "Bertha"? (I just made up that Bertha name because it sounded right for a camper.) The Kubota pulling them all out would have been a pretty good picture. I'm glad it worked and you didn't have to go to the extremes you did before.

Rookie RV'er. 
Some RV'ers know better than to take 30,000 lbs up Don's drive.

Ron the road was fine, it's the open fields that Lucy has a problem with.
Lucy's nose was against a tree in deep sand and "Bertha" was starting to back into the yard at an angle and Lucy's wheels started spinning. We hooked a chain from the FEL to Lucy's trailer hitch and pulled back wards and moved out of the way as Bertha straighted up. Bertha ended up outside the yard. Jim, you are right, Bertha is a good name.
This morning we head to town to gather our basic materials.

the road was fine,
Don -- didn't you add some gravel to that road a couple of years ago? Seems I remember a couple of piles sitting there waiting for you to spread. Maybe it's time for some more.

I think this picture shows how Harvey sets his fence posts.
That's it for tonight. | |

Maybe it's time for some more. | Don's drive surface was in very good shape last I saw it in January. He was still working on clearance in the last few 100 ft to get a delivery all the way to his pool. You can see in the pictures that Harveys fifth wheel was very close to the branches. Hope he did not get to many scratches on his RV.

It's starting to look like an entrance.
The old gate & posts are gone, Harvey got the top rail welded in and the second rail will be in tonight as well as the hog panel that Don's attaching to the fence.
Lucy decided to leave Don some new ruts to fill again.
Final picture is how we looked leaving Supak steel in La Grange, TX about noontime yesterday. Those are 24' lengths of pipe on Lucy as well as a pallet (42 80lb bags) of cement. | |
