Back from FL and with the onset of cooler weather around here and the return of my pick-em-up truck further progress has commenced. The first order of business was re-laying the walk to a more permanent arrangement. A trip to Mr Mulch and Lowe’s got me started on that:

A pathway to get to the hose was put in and rest of the path was finished up:

1/2" Quarry gravel was used to ballast around the track work. It’s small enough to fit between the ties and fill the area between the 2 plastic rails on the ladder roadbed.

Went through a 1/2 ton yesterday and got another half ton this morning. Should be enough to finish that part of the job.
