When Aaron called that new route "The Scenic Route" he wasn't kidding. That looks absolutely beautiful. That area where you took that extra dirt for fill, is now a turn out, so to speak. You did the owner a real good thing. You have real insight. Once the green comes back, it will look even more awesome. See you next time.

I can’t give it a big enough thumbs up! Reminds me of our property in north west Washington state where I grew up! My brother and I with dad’s supervision ( he checked on our progress and gave advice ) built a road from the top down to the lower acreage! Using horses and hand tools! We had an old wagon and a couple harnesses and the wagon had been modified long ago with a blade on the front. We were on top of a gravel bar and had a lot of big shale formations in the ground so we did 80% with pick axe, breaker bars and shovels only using the horses to haul shale first and after we dug out the road and collected enough shale we shoveled it out of the wagon by hand then the horses and wagon spread it more even then we switched to gravel and repeated the process ! We hated my dad that summer but when we finished and drove a two wheel drive truck up and down the road , the sense of accomplishment was amazing! Anytime I start to think something is impossible I reflect on that summer!

Personally I'd of loved to have been there with un's doing that one. I loved making foot trails in the deep woods of Sequoia Park area in Ca. Most were done illegally but I never claimed to follow the laws explanation of right from wrong while living in the woods alone off and on through out my adult life. Thanks for sharing.

I wondered how on earth you'd fix that grade when Matt bid the job for you. What a fantastic, elegant, and practical solution. It's a shame that the tree clinging to the cliff had to go, but the mere fact that you just touched it with the bucket and it fell, showed how precarious it was. What an awesome job you two did. And Mike, the fact that you would take over for Aaron when the dozer work got a bit sketchy is such a good thing. Something I've come to expect from you. Looking forward to the completion of this fascinating project. Thanks for sharing. Aaron, good videography.

That's what I thought, the Derby dirt crew would start with. Clear the trees off and use them to stabilize the downhill side of the road. When Aaron suggested leaving that tree because it looked so nice, I realized I have a bias towards douglas fir, cedar and arbutus trees because that's what I grew up with here in the Gulf Islands.

The camera didn't do justice to just how steep that was at around 45:00m until you saw the Dozer going up it. Can see now why Aaron lost his bottle & didn't want to drive it up the slope, that would have felt unbelievably steep sitting inside the Dozer.

That looks awesome, deciding to blow through that gap was a great choice, and it's great you have a property owner who says "do what you think is best, I'm ok with it". But then again, you earned his trust through the first few projects. It pays to be detailed and customer-focused. It's also fitting to have MBTS doing a lot of the dozer work since this was the same property where you found out he'd been taking lessons from Jerry in secret and actually WAS a good dozer operator.
