Do any of you have an area on your property where you drive through water? I have a ditch along one side of my property which we use as a trail. When it first rains and the the ground is still hard we can drive through it otherwise we would get stuck. I have also walked my horses through there to test it and nearly got my boots sucked off!
We have another really wide ditch that runs all along the back of our property which was covered in blackberry vines with a tunnel and there were coyotes living in there. We just ripped out all the vines because my neighbor has cattle and it is pain for her to keep them back on her side and the fence needs replacing. Her property is elevated above ours and she floods her pastures from time to time and then the ditch fills with water in the summer time. I want to use it for driving because there will be a really good grade to drive up and down. Is there anything I can do for footing so it might be usable to drive through when it is full of water? My friend suggested putting tarp down and covering it with sand.
