Brian did you ever try to figure the grade of your driveway.  It looks as if it is between 6-8% from the photo's.

that is about what it is at the moment for the most part but there are areas in the 10% range still. But the driveway being seen is just for construction purposes. eventually we are going to bring in a more direct drive from the main road but I need the wife to give a little more input on where we are going to put in the pond so that I can lay it out. Hopefully she will like it where I do and we will have a grade <5% all the way to the cabin which for the area is not too bad, we do not want the road too manicured so the local kids don't use it as a play ground when we are not there. The current entry road will eventually serve to give us passage between our cabin and our friends on the other side of the mountain without ever having to go on a public road. This allows the kids to go back and forth without us having to worry about idiot drivers and avoids problems when we all get together to do the cabin crawl weekends :)

If more people took personal responsibility for themselves this country would not be in the mess it is.
