And I thought getting through our DG was bad. At least it breaks up once you pound on it. These guys like to stay together! You have a beautiful place!

The plan was a 8t machine but the tire on the tractor that is used to move the 8t was flat and damaged beyond repair so the Taceuchi TB16 it is :)

We have to travel a hundred miles to another state to find rocks, and then pay for them by the pound. They are too expensive to use for anything other then an accent in decorating.

Good Lord - - I have access to a potential gold mine. The neighbors property has miles of "rock walls". From when the original homesteaders cleared their fields. These "walls" are about 2 1/2 feet high - about 12' to 15' wide and go for miles. Biggest rocks form the outer edges with smaller rock filling in the middle.

The homesteader on this land - 1890's - reportedly had five sons. I wonder what they did for fun - - no question what they did for work. There is even an old rock sled over by the homestead site.

One of these days I and my trusty camera will go over and photo some of these walls & the old home site. All that remains of the homesite is the rock foundation.

My experience is the rocks are nearly worthless and all the money is in hauling them.
