Jasper

We bought these sixteen acres in September. It's my outdoor gym. The one-time membership fee was painful, but the grossly unmaintained property is the workout gift that keeps on giving.

Sixteen acres of pure neglect.


For the past month I've been clearing what will be the backyard (left side of the map, above). Think: three acres of 6-8ft weeds, intertwined with thorny vines. Possessing the right tools for the job is imperative.

Scythe.

Then, occasionally, to keep oneself motivated, you fly your quadcopter up a ways and take progress pics.

Pretty.
Working from the creek outwards towards the road.

Of course, the best part of the whole grueling process is lighting it all on fire when you're done for the day.
