A collection of thoughts about planning, building and enjoying a backyard trail network in central Vermont.

Roxy's movin on up

With the new "Toll Rd" built it was time to move Roxy (aka the rope tow truck) up to the top of the hill.  Roxy had been sitting still all summer so were curious to she'd run allright.

Kricket and Galen removing the cable ties while Jay puts the tires on.


Vroom - she started right up.


Jay had to get used to driving with a hand throttle.


Up the snowmobile trail to the road.


Made it up half way!


Lookin pretty.


I followed Jay and Roxy with the tractor while Kricket and Galen followed us and took this picture as we were headed up the driveway.


At the bottom of the new trail - Toll Rd.


And at the top!


Roxy's new home with the rope tow line headed down the hill off to the left.


We also had to switch out the bull wheel that was at the top.  I was able to pick it up with the tractor.


Headed down the road..


And down the snowmobile trail..


To the bottom.  It's going to be nice to have more space at the base area now that the truck is at the top.  We'll be able to grab on to the rope the flat area instead of on the hill (after the old idle wheels in the picture).
