"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds." - Edward Abbey

The Moat has been Bridged!!!

The Youngers can cross Potter Creek now. Yippee!!! Here's an AFTER photo we've all been waiting for...

They finished putting down rock and gravel over the culvert so now the Youngers can drive up to their house again. They will need to give the new driveway time to settle before they pave it. Several weeks, I think. Check out the pictures in the slideshow to see the progress over the last five months.

Thanks to everyone for helping this wonderful family out during a difficult period. I know they would do the same for you/us. Thank goodness, things are looking up for them!

Mega Progress on the Culvert

Construction is moving along quickly now. The culvert arrived and was cemented in place. They started putting rocks and fill over the culvert. Almost 3/4 of the fill is done. The Youngers could be driving across the bridge on a gravel road by mid-week. Yipee!!!

After that they will need to get the road paved and the terraforming needs to be completed. Plus all of those details like utilities to the house and fences, planting etc. But soon, they will have access again!
