We spent most of the weekend working on the trails. We're trying to widen the trails so the tractor can get all the way around. Ideally, we'd like to be able to get an excavator to the back plateau and have some trees cleared in order to one day have a field back there.
Chris spent much of the weekend on the tractor while I was always 50 ft. in front of him, removing trees. The tractor did well pulling up stumps and grading the trail. We took a drive to NH Saturday night and bought loads of fireworks. We stopped for dinner and some beers in Brattleboro and when we got back to the land, it was dark, and we shot off some serious fireworks.
We met with Jesse on Sunday morning and got a game plan for moving forward with the bigger cabin, septic, and foundation. It's exciting. We also weedwacked the clearing. It sucked. It took forever, and the grass had grown so high that it was nearly impossible at times. It will be a miracle if we don't get poison ivy.
It was a pretty simple weekend, but it was a blast. Having the outdoor shower now is truly a game changer. If it's a sign of things to come, the future looks bright.
