A slough to a solid surface in a mere year

Twelve months ago, we had gone from the wettest October on record to a winter of named storms. The result was the destruction of tents and wallowing in mud on the plat. Last January, told the story of replacing the marquee with a yurt. Now we turn our attention to the surface on which we walk.

Winds battered the marquee, and the bark intended to protect from the mire failed. We were walking in slime.

So along with upgrading from tents, there came a project to construct decking and a variety of walkways.

We began at the rear of the plat and continued in front of the yurt. Then we started a completely different style at the main entrance to the enclosure.

Between the decking and the logs, the project has been completed with a surface constructed with pallet wood laid diagonally. The practical benefit is enormous, and it looks good into the bargain.
