OK......I got the cars, but I finally had the appliances hauled off.(I thought they added a nice touch, but Monsy disagreed
) I've never owned a spitoon or a gun.
Does this mean I can't be a hillbilly?

That ain't too bad! The trash man couldn't get down my drive if he wanted to!!!! There's a '75 Duster, laying on it's back, and a '63 Valiant 'vert blocking his path!LOL

Heehee.. Why do you think he refuses? It's not so much that there are vehicles parked in such a way as to block it's .1 mile length (just a short one . After you crest the little rise coming off the road, you come down a short-but-rather-steep hill, across the holes at the bottom that would surely have caused that little Duster to drag its belly, and up another. That, plus the drop-offs along the bottom 'flat' that, in the years since we've been here, have captured several four-wheelers, a couple straight trucks/dump trucks/etc, and at least one 18-wheeler.

Oh, and I forgot to mention those drop-offs are held in place by the roots of the mulberry trees lining, but not blocking the edge with lots of low-hanging branches.

Hmm.. That's not to say we don't -have- the vehicles, they've just been drug off to the side.. mostly in the old strawberry and rhubarb patches.

*grins* ... Yep.. no matter how many loads of gravel we have hauled in, it all gets lost in the mud and the clay (used to get thrown out before it had a chance to settle when I was a youngster ).
And I used to -think- it was a half-mile when I went out to catch the bus (on those rare mornings I did .)
