obstacles?

[NCjeeper]

any tips on creating obstacles? im making a trail behind my house. there's a few spots with large boulders that need to be dug out more, an old creek bed that's dry but soft, a few spots with standing marsh from a natural spring, a field...



any tips? ideas?

Dont move them.........Those are your obstacles. Just maybe try to get them in a little row and you have a mini rock garden. Plus the more you play the better the trail will get.

i just got done ripping 4 shrubs out of my parents' front yard with my XJ... just tie a tow strap 'round them bad boys n give a tug!

(actually, don't tie it, just wrap it through itself if you get what i'm sayin... haha that'd be one nasty knot to undo...)

ive tried digging around the boulders to expose them more, driving back and forth through the marshy areas and went down the creek bed twice since i cant go back up it. haha it's going to be a really nasty area.

is there anything i can bring in or make?

whats an easier way to move the smaller rocks (100-400lbs or so)?

whats a good way to make mud pits in a field? a tiller?

how could logs or tree trunks be used?

I was just going to say to use some logs. You can stack them or put them next to each other to make a good log course

you could rent a bobcat for a day for a couple hundred bucks (dont forget the case of beer... +$25)

LOL

SWEET.....Too bad i'm so far away, would love to come "help out" with the trail.

yikes! yeah oregon's quite a ways away.


i guess i'll wait until everything's cleared, rent a bobcat, and dig out around the boulders and make some mud holes?

old tires are good, big tires taht is like tires off of big dumptrucks and stuff, bury them halfway or so and arrange them in odd ways and they make good obstacles
