Twenty years ago my Dad and I took an old Ford tractor and a Bobcat loader and about a months worth of time to build a new road up the backside of our property..
Here is a video I made of a quick drive up the completed drive... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EmqOw_fk4A (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-1095-1285118265.1.jpg) Back then that road was nothing more than a way to get to and from the Pond we had just built.It also allowed for a better way in and out during the winter. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-1095-1285118266.2.jpg) Now fast forward twenty years and this road leads up a remote path to the place where all the magic happens, Aircooled Heaven... It just kind of happened that way, thats the crazy thing... There was never a master plan to make all this happen.. It just did.. For this reason today there still isn't a sign telling you that you have arrived, until you get to the summit of the mountain you don't really know if you are where you are supposed to be and that kind of adds to the mystique of it all.. This will make it much better at the shop and will make it easier to keep the place clean, something we spend lots of time doing!!
