Riley and I walked Yoshi Mountain today, doing some final calculations. Total distance, 270 feet. Which requires 540 feet of rope, plus 15 feet for the vertical rise on the return and 3 feet for the circumference of the bullwheel (or, as it's more commonly known, the tractor tire), for a total of 558 feet. Where, mind you, would someone find such an enormous amount of rope suitable for a rope tow? eBay of course, for the low low price of $150 delivered to my doorstep. I've worked out the required materials now, and all that's left is a shopping list, learning to splice rope, and a solid day of setup. I've spent way too much time thinking about this, there can be no doubt. But with Ri by my side, we marched off the measurements and I saw the dawning excitement in his face.
Fun Shots
- Who knows if Yoshi Mountain will actually exist? Who cares? in the meantime, I'll have my fun and post some pics to keep me inspired.
