I'm not having any problems so far. There's no real way for someone else to get up there unless they walk through the woods or use the 1/4 mile of road I put across my uncles property. My Dad brother and I have 120 acres but it adjoins my uncles and cousins which brings the total to 440 acres. Behind us there is one 80 acre parsel that is land locked by us and the quarry. And the quarry has several square miles that no one is supposed to be on. But from listening to the gun shots quite a few people sneak onto but they are not coming across my property.

I do have a gate but that would only keep honest people out it wouldn't take much to break a lock. I used two 10' round pen panels so It opens to 20' I can't stand trying to get through a small gate.

I finally got the road to our camp done this year.

It was kinda rough getting it in. This one is taken where the gate is now. It was all woods and kinda swampy. And a fourwheeler could barley pick its way between the trees.

After my brother and I spent a day cutting trees to make a road up and only got 15 feet Tommy was wondering why he got it. I ended up renting a dozer the next weekend and getting the road pushed in.

But it took us four years from starting the road getting all the ditches in and getting gravel on it. And wouldn't be done yet if we hadn't found gravel on the property.

I started digging here feb 28th 2010 and I feel I got a lot of gravel out. I would go in cut the trees off where I had enough room to get my gravel out then go back and do it again.
