Access is tough, it's up a hill, and there is a retaining wall that blocks access, and a tree half way between the wall and the house. On the other side the deck is in the way, I can barely squeeze a riding mower with a 42" deck through.
I have something going on almost every weekend this summer, so finding the time to actually work on is another problem. And I've reached the point where I have nowhere to go with the rock I'm digging out, so I need to find some time to haul it away. |

| One of my radio buddies used to go mountain-topping all the time for the VHF contests. He always carried a Makita electric "Demolition Hammer" with him, and a supply of anchors made from some kind of steel bar. He could drive the anchors right in to the rock, and most of them are still in the ground on the more popular locations here in SoCal!
