We Did Want Adventure…

And boy did we get our adventure!

Yesterday, we decided we needed to take the truck on the beach in order to get building materials to our property. We didn’t even make it to the beach before we noticed a clicking coming from our rear driver’s side tire. After looking at it a bit and calling our dads, we took some weight off to see if that would help. It continued to click, so my dad suggested looking for a rock in the hubcap.

Lo-and-behold, when we took off the hub cap we realized that the tire was loose too! Unfortunately, we’d taken the tire iron (Amazon affiliate link) to camp to work on the 4-wheeler and forgotten to bring it back to the truck. Luckily, some people had come to the park and gave Kyle a ride back to their house to borrow theirs, and we tightened all the tires. Yup, the front was loose as well! After saying goodbye to them, we ran into another gentleman who owns a cabin in the area and he lent us his for the trip down the beach in case we needed to change a tire out there.

And then we were finally off!

Progress!

I feel like we’ve actually accomplished something and made progress in the past few days.

After Kyle spoke with another gentleman with a cabin up in this area, we gave up on finding our markers for now. He had been coming up to his cabin for 10 years and never found his property markers!

So… we used the plat map, paced off the distance and decided if we went in right in the middle, there was no way we could accidentally be on someone else’s property. Which brings us to:

We have a driveway now! Continue reading “Progress!”

Yup, We’re Crazy. And Also Idiots.

Let me preface this by saying we saw our land for the first time and we absolutely love it! It’s thickly treed, level, dry, and a hop, skip and jump away from a lake, two creeks and the ocean! How much better could it get?

I mean, check out our beautiful 3 part driveway:

Part 1 takes us down miles of beach
