Az wouldn't have to. He could just leave on field well 'trimmed' and maybe do a little grading to smooth it out, and boom. Runway on the cheap! There's a few folks around here who have runways like that. Pretty snazzy really.
Looks pretty good man. Though there should be a talk with the spinning fan of your city water meter about getting the water the rest of the way to you lol.
So you've got 20 acres to play with. You going to turn a portion of it into a rock obstacle for your offroading?

I wonder if the idea is to 'throw' the water the rest of the way to the house from the meter? ;D
Not sure if i picture Az in his own version of 'Smallville' OR 'Aracniphobia'(or however it's spelt  ) ;D Bet he's seen more than a few decent webs around there by now...lol.
Love the goggle earth option Holmes. A bit more resolution to it, and we could watch him move in...lol.
And yeah, I'm hoping it all works out well for ya. BTW, next time there's talk of a RBL RL meeting, I bet I know where we could set up a camping area for a few days, heh.

A landing strip could be fashioned in somehow but not really very practical. Trade winds in this area are pretty much east/west, not too many north/south runways. The power line comes in about 100' west of the drive splitting the 1/2 mile width of the pasture. Also those treelines along the property line are Douglas firs most of which are over 100'. There are two private strips tho within a few mile. One is Daybreak just about 2 miles southwest of me. My pasture is about the biggest around so is no doubt a planned spot for E-landing from that strip. My RC cub has just over a 7' wingspan however and should look perty impresive taking off and buzzin round and landing on the drive
I sold my landcruiser so only have my lil TOYota Truck now which is my work rig, so nothin too radical. I do have my dirt bike however to go tearin round on ;D
Owner is comin by today to show me where the other wellhead is that has eluded me thus far. There is an outfit that will come out and locate the leak also, they garuntee to locate it within a 3' radius (whew) so its gonna get got

Heh, wasn't sure of that 1 pic. Is that the outhouse?? ;D I see you've got a high-tech swingset for the kids anyway. No question on the elbow room though. Can't wait to see how big an outdoor fishpond you'll build at THIS location.

Heh, pity I ain't got a pic of a local landmark of ours. A few years back, a couple of local jokers put 1 of your 'classic' swings up at the top of a spruce tree bout 30-40 feet up. Since then, the area near it's been cleared and a subdivision's been put in, leaving the tree, and tire swing, alone and highly visible from a main highway going through the area. You'd be AMAZED how many tourists are stopping and taking PICTURES of it. : ??? : I can just picture the comments that would go along with the pic..."Crazy bluenosers...they give their kids a REAL view when they play on a swing" :o : ;D ;D Course, now if I ever actually SEE someone swinging in it, I might stop and take a pic too!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
