Trail Time

 Both families were able to meet on our property for a day right before Christmas. And the weather was pleasant (for December especially)! We marked out a 1/2 mile loop trail that keeps above the cliffs and visits two overlooks. The kids were excellent trail workers - cutting, trimming, raking and moving logs without complaint. It was useful to have so many feet on the ground to get an idea of trail placement. It was also nice to do trails marking during leaf-off season so we had better site distance and didn't have to plow through vegetation. Took a break for s'mores and roasted starbursts (Mudrick thing). We were also able to meet with an excavator who checked out our driveway and the work that will be needed there to get construction equipment (mainly the cement truck) back to the property. It's exciting to get plans in motion!
