Back on Sept 3rd we were able to spend a couple hours down on the farm. This trip was about one week after hurricane Irene. Up near the house we had a couple of trees down, but nothing too bad. The worst damage took place at the far end of the property just past the old home site. We had two huge trees fall and both of them fell directly on our riding trail. These trees were huge and we decided it would be easier to just create another path around the downed trees. The new path actually will make riding more fun in that area. While cutting the new path we found a giant hole in the ground and plan to run a path through it in the near future. (Link to new hole video) We did not stay down on the farm for too long, but did get to do some riding. Believe it or not, the creek was not flooded after the hurricane. We did see evidence that the water level did rise, but one week later the level had dropped. Crossing the creek was not too much of a challenge, except for when Blake got stuck.(Creek Crossing Video) We could have pull him out by hand, but I wanted to use my new winch. (Link to winch video) The one bad part about this trip was that I got attacked by chiggers. I have never been bitten by chiggers before, but they tore me up that day. My legs were covered and I itched for a week.
Work has become very busy and will be busy for several weeks. I am currently trying to plan another riding trip and hopefully it will be soon. I have also been too busy to work on stuff in the garage, but will be getting back to that soon as well.
