Build a 300’ long driveway

It will give you privacy they said…….nothing about a ski slope in the winter. in a 5 ton pickup.




First world problems I know.

That sounds like fun! Unless you need to leave and go somewhere, that is....

Not unless the house catches fire (apologies Gillian)

Feeling your pain right now. Great road for privacy, etc...but sucks in this weather. About 1/3 mile of single lane blacktop and some blustone area closest to the house with several West Virginia style hills/curves thrown in. It can be entertaining watching people coming to visit the neighbors or us even in good weather. I once watched a SMECO van slide down a hill on the ice and roll on its side into the ravine. Tree stopped it from going any further. Can't tell you how many times we've had to pull Amazon trucks out of the ditch because they thought they could do a u-turn on a grassy slope in the mud

Leaving is the fun part..... coming back home, thats the problem...... unless his house lies lower than the raod, or course.

Driveway in Callaway is 1570 feet. Last bit is uphill where the house is. But..... there's nothing to hit going down.

Had a friend of mine - who moved a way a couple years back - whose driveway was this narrow conduit to his home, a nice house carved into an otherwise heavily wooded area.

Almost every winter, a tree would fall across his driveway.

Our driveway is maybe 200' and level. Our pier is longer than our driveway, at 270'. I haven't gone near the pier in this mess. Da water is cold.
