Andzen Acres: new, safe driveway

We need help to kick start our dream in funding a new, safer driveway. If you've visited us before, you know it's dangerous when leaving. The current driveway leaves you very little time to get in front of oncoming traffic safely. It'll seem as though no traffic is approaching, so you start to drive on the highway, suddenly you see there is a 17 year old driver on your rear, likely staring at their phone and has hopefully looked up to see you.  

The location of the new driveway will
- Provide a higher view of approaching vehicles
- Provide Cael a safe place to be picked up and dropped off by the school bus
- Approximately 3 times the viewing distance of vehicles to the south
- To the north, you can pretty much see Palmyra
- Alleviate accidental traffic to our neighbors across the highway as well as the neighbor we share a property line with

We want to ensure our friends and family are able to safely leave without worrying whether or not you'll heed our current advice when leaving: "pull up to the highway, roll your windows down, turn off the radio and listen for oncoming vehicles.”

The state needs a $1,000 "Performance Guarantee" just so we can get the plans from them. This is given back to us as long as we build it to their specifications; and we plan to do just that! :)

The state requires a poured concrete approach at least 24 feet wide. We'll put rock down first, with the goal of pouring concrete eventually. We'll need 30-40 feet of 2' diameter, double walled culvert. We'll need to rent a bulldozer at $150/hour to move the fill dirt. We'll need a lot of dirt, as this new location is about a 40-50 feet difference in elevation from the highway. 

We know it's a tad odd to put up a GoFundMe page for something like this. But many have told us, “Andzen is such a great place, how can we help you make it even better?” This is how: donate what you can, be it a little or a lot. We appreciate all of the help we can get. 

If you've had the pleasure of visiting this awesome property, we know you likely had a big ole smile on your face. Smiles are free, driveways are not. 

We appreciate all of your help.
