Kent...Thanks for the response! I know that it's going to take a lot of hard work to put this in. I figured to just run the thing right across the creek, from the high point of the existing road to the high point of the field. I don't have a scoop for my tractor...I've got a grader blade. I've plowed the field already and have a good base of clay just 6-12 inches under the topsoil. My brothers and I are going to chip in for a dozer for a weekend. Prior to that, I'll go ahead and dig with a shovel my core trench and clear the area for the clay from the field to go. I know it's a lot of hard work...but it's a labor of love. I've taken my parents there to show them where it will be and they're getting giddy. It will be worth every blister and every drop of sweat to give this to them.
