Hey y'all, I own 80 acres of unimproved desert at the foot of the Delaware Mountains in West Texas. The property is small, but it's surrounded by low-fence ranches owned by oilfield billionaires who manage for mule deer and aoudad. I bet there are some blue quail hiding out among the ocotillo as well ... plus a few varieties of cactus I have not seen anywhere else. The problem is, my pickup truck is no match for the washed-out dirt road that goes to my land, and I can't get the county out there to maintain its own easement. So, I've only been to my place one time, and that was just to walk around and watch a Blue Origin space launch. Which brings me to my offer. I will trade an exclusive hunting & recreation lease through February 2023 for somebody who will get out there and repair the road. Most of the road is fine; it just needs some help in a few really bad spots. I know this is not for everybody, but if it sounds like a project you might be interested in, hit me up. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/10/full-66665-368077-img_8546.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/10/full-66665-368078-img_8551.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/10/full-66665-368079-img_8526.jpeg)

If it's a county road you'll need to get something in writing from them allowing permission to repair the road. If your in a subdivision with public roads you'll need to check your regulations there also because there You can get into some legal issues there. I have a maintainer in Van Horn if you ever get the above worked out.

While technically I am sure you are right does anyone even care in these sparsely populated rural counties? We bladed around 40-50 miles of county roads in Presidio county and never asked anyone about it. On the river road by Porvenir we fixed several bad spots with a dozer.
