Are we building a freeway?

Weekend 2 of road building was quite an undertaking! As you can see in our photo, there was massive excavation taking place. Kris texted me from the property and said he was pretty sure they were actually building a freeway instead of a driveway! Given that the county is making us put a pull-off 400 feet down the road (you know, for all the rush hour traffic we’re apparently going to have on our “driveway”), he may be right.

I’m thinking of making our massive driveway more interesting by adding some fun signs along the way. Perhaps at the pull-off, we’ll have one that says “Slow Vehicles Stay Right!” or “Scenic Overlook Ahead!” I think Kris may also be welding up a guard rail for the west side of the road, given the 5-foot drop-off! It could get pretty dicey in the winter. Perhaps we could build a small warming house at the entry gate and leave some snow shoes for guests to hike in. Give them a chance to take in the scenery…see the wildlife?? Just a thought!

Hoping the paving will be completed this next weekend weather permitting. Check out “The Road” to see a lot more pictures of our freeway!
