On Saturday, we went up to see how Gull Lake Ranch was coming along. Jayson had told us he had his crew up there and we were curious to see what they had done. Well, of course, by the time we got up on Saturday morning, a snow storm had dumped about 10cm of the white stuff at our current place in Knutsford . We fired up the Big Red Truck (our '97 Ford F250 powerstroke diesel crew cab), picked up Carol's son, Alex, and motored up the hill to the ranch. Now, I said we got 10cm of snow in Knutsford, but it was more like 20cm at the ranch in Barnhartvale! The good news was that Jayson's guys had done an awesome job of ploughing out the driveway, and although there was lots of fresh snow, we easily drove all the way in to the house site. We did see the D5 Cat dozer and a big track hoe parked about half way up the driveway.
From where the house will sit, it was easy to see where the boys had started putting in the "new" driveway. They had dug substantial ditches on either side of the new road to give the water a place to go. It's nice to have people working for you who know what they are doing! It is so exciting to see things actually starting to happen!
Joey had her usual full-speed race around the property, at one point hopping like a deer through some particularly deep snow by the new driveway. Lots of animal tracks criss-crossed everything keeping her busy following all the interesting smells. She really does love it up here and I'm sure she thinks we got the place just for her!
