| One more Backyard Crawler Course....
Inspired by many on this forum who built a backyard crawler course, and the fact there's nowhere to crawl around here, I decided to try my hand at it. First, had to get approval from Da Boss (Wife) Once she gave her blessing, there were several stipulations..... No mudpits, cannot look like a messy rock quarry and it should have some type of shrubbery around it. Since that was not what I had in mind, I stood my ground and said "Yes Dear" Anyway, here we go..... |

Early stages, trying to figure out what works out the best with the materials on hand. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

Gotta keep my promise to the wife, so I added some greenery. Made some rock steps on the side of the mountain and polished up the other concrete pile. So far so good. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

So this is it so far. I still want to add more rocks on the mountains, maybe make a bridge or a water feature. This project has been five weeks in the making. Any suggestions are welcome, this Rock Crawling addiction is real! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

I'd say, "Nice job"...but, it isn't. "Nice" is a 3-4 out of 10. That's at least a 9. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

| Re: One more Backyard Crawler Course.... Wish I had a backyard, but love in a condo. I do have a front patio, be but it's barely 5'x12'. Of course, I'd need a really big yard, as I'd also want to build my own dirt off-road track. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |
