I'm writing about my favorite road, it is called The Fox Hill Road.It is our family camp road, to me it is the best camp ever. The road is about four miles long and a lot of memories everywhere. I grew up on this back road I learned how to drive on it. Lots of fun times on this road. The road is not all fun, it takes a lot of work to keep the road up to good driving. Ever season we are doing something to the road to help it be a little smoother.
I will start with in the spring there is a lot of work to do, before we start very driving to camp everyday. The road gets very muddy. When it gets very muddy we try to drag it. What we drag it with is a different story, we have used trees, old bed box springs, what every we can drag it with. We drag the road to help it stay dry so it is not so muddy. It takes a long time to drag the whole road and a couple of four wheelers or we use the skidder. This is what we do in the spring time, and get ready for the summer.
When the next season comes is summer. We need to cut some of the raspberry or the blackberries, or some of the trees back from the road. I like this season because the boys are the ones how do the cutting, and I get out of it. The boys use the chainsaws to do the cutting so this don't take that much time. There is a bunch of them that go and do the cutting. Some times we all get lucky and our friend who has a tracker will do it for us. It takes him no time at all, than we can all get to camp and enjoy it.
Than we get the fall and the real hard work starts. We try to fill in some of the hole from the summer. That means we have to fill the trucks you with dirt and keep stopping to fill in the hole on the road. This takes a lot of hard work and a lot of time. Even if you get a couple of use doing this. This is my least favorite season because it means a lot of hard work is coming and means the summer is over and winter is coming.
The cold has set in and it is snowing and winter time. We try to plow the ride and maybe sand the road if it really bad. We still go down to the camp in the winter time to go ice fishing. I like to ride when we are plowing in less we get stuck and that is no fun. On some of the hills we need to put some sand down so we don't get stuck on them. The winter does not take as much work or time because the trucks are doing the work and not me I like that part.
We put a lot of work into our camp road but it is so worth it. We enjoy every little thing about the road, and not only being able to drive on it. If I think about how the road would be if we did not do the keep up with it, it would not be a fun ride at all. We get to enjoy the wild berries, on the roads. We also love to watch the wild life you never know what you will see on the road, deer or eagles any kinds of animals. This road has been a big part of my life so I like to be able to put the work back into it.
Very nice job here--this really is process, really is individual and detailed, really has a nice tone to it. Happy to take it!
