[QUOTE="Sobewan, post: 2320195, member: 119829"] My drive is 1800 ft up a gravel drive. Knock on wood I haven't had any problems with USPS, UPS, Fedex or Amazon tearing up the yard despite a tight turn around by the house. On the other hand I had a ruptured appendix just before Christmas a few years ago and the ambulance driver ran off the drive on the way to the house not 25 ft from the road. Poor paramedic grabbed his gear and hoofed it all the way up hill to the house... heck of a feat. Anyway, when he asked if I could make it down the hill on foot to a second ambulance I tried to laugh (it was painful) and said if I was in any condition to walk I wouldn't have called for an ambulance in the first place! I suggested we take my truck and just leave it at the end of the drive. You know after they loaded me on a stretcher to carry me the last 25ft they darn near dumped me in the mud next to the stuck ambulance? An hour and 45 minutes later they got me to the closest hospital 20 minutes from my home and as they rushed me into surgery I told the paramedic who had stayed with me the whole time I appreciated his help but I sure hoped they wouldn't send me a bill for their trouble. They never did. [/QUOTE]
