Just a brief note. The walking path is starting to take shape. The first section along the top of the south quarry goes through an ecologically sensitive area of reindeer lichen (Devin says it is the largest he has ever seen) so instead of making the path with the Bobcat, which makes a cut 6’7” wide, we decided to cut it by hand and make it of wood chips.

Among other things that require improvement I Henry, the Model T. They were (and are) great cars, but are not really suited to going slowly on hilly ground. In the picture below, Henry is being sent off to Waynesboro to get an alternator, disk brakes, a water pump, a two-speed transmission, and other improvements. Should be back before winter sets in.
