Interesting thought! There is someone local I can ask. One problem is that there is no dry way to cross the stream, and most of our land is on the other side. DH says when the water is low there is place where you can get across by stepping on stones in the water, but I've never done it. He once had a footbridge built, but spring rains swept it away. I'd like to try again, maybe just a simple wide plank or two that could be removed and set in place when being used.

It can't be done at the end of my new path, because the other side is all wetlands, at least it looks that way now. One clue is there are no trees, which would suggest a lack of dry land. In the spring, when all the brush has been carried off, I'll get a better look at where the water actually goes.

5. View back to the house. Obviously we didn't get rid of all the burning bushes yet.
