Feeling chipper

July 18-20 third of four posts

When we got back to the land, JC Campbell and his daughter were hard at work. We hired JC to brush some of the scrub oak around the house to create some defensible space and open up the views. They had brought up a commercial grade chipper and set to work mulching up the scrub oak JC brushed during the week. They worked hard all day and finished up about 4:30.

With the scrub oak out of the way, we could better see some of the boulder formations, like this one....

And this one...

JC had also sunk a couple of posts so we could hang a gate on our driveway. Gerald hung a chain until we could figure out what kind of gate we wanted. He also moved a line of boulders across the meadow, which would still permit the cows to have access to the land (as required for our agricultural exemption) but keep out unwanted vehicles.

We also got a better look at the logs that were delivered on Wednesday night.
