Talking If you can't Find a Place, BUILD IT!

I am so busy all the time its just tough to go out looking for a great place to run. So I have taken it into my own hand and am bring the spot to me.. And I am tired I had 5 yards of dirt brought to my house and have been scavanging rocks. I have spent about 2 weeks working on this a few hours ever couple of nights. Made a bridge, and cemeted some ponds in for a little puddle jumpin. I still have quite a bit to do. Going to landscape around it some how with plants and what ever my wife insists on.... Probably going to have a yard or 2 of rocks brought in to add through out.

Let me know your thoughts and any suggestions welcome

Very nice Corey I feel your pain on having to build it, My stepdad and I are doing the same thing. Lots of work, but fun building it all up.

Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming
