Chuck continued ahead of Alexandra, but she wasn't taken far behind him.  As he went further up the roads seem to get thinner, leaving really nothing to drive on.  So now Chuck had to drive even slower.  "This is ridiculous! No wonder, no ones lives up here," he muttered to himself.  Then as he reaches another road this went to the side.  "Shit that's the entrance to the Shrimp farm, boy I use to love to visit this place with my grandmother. I will check it out later." he thought as he keeps going passing the next farm.

"Sweetie are you still back there?" he asked his wife through his headphone.   "Honey I'm right behind you. What was that back there?" she asked   "Those are two other farms, I'll tell you more about them later.  Right now concentrate on the road." he replied  "Here that. Later," she said 

Then they reach another attach road.  "This is it.  Wow, look at all that weed everywhere.  Goodness, I'm going to be so busy.  I'm being to regret this decision." he said    He then looked for a spot to park.  Stepped out of the RV with a machete and began to hack away all the weed until he finally saw the entrance gates.   Within minutes, "Beep Beep," Alexsander beep her horn as she finally reaches him and parks the jeep right behind the RV.

"Need some help?" she asked when she steps out of the jeep and took out a cordless electric knife.   "How cute, you always find an easy way," said Chuck with a smile.   "You know I always have this in my glove compartment.  Just in case, and look it came in handy," she replied with a smile.    After an hour, it was clear enough to try to open the two large steel gates.  Chuck reached into his pocket.   "Sweetie steps back, I don't know which way these gates open," he said   Then he also stepped back.  He looked around for the keyhole. which wasn't on the gates.  When as he glanced to the side.  He spotted it on the ground in between the two large gates.

He then placed the key and turned it into force.  It was rusty.  "Alex, give me some motor oil," he said Alexandra went into the trunk, took out the motor oil.  She walked towards the gates and pours some into the keyhole.  "That should do the trick," she said     Chuck turned the key a couple more time and with the fourth attempted the chain on the gates began to running opening the gates towards the inside.  The sound of the rusted chains along with the gates was painfully loud.   But the gates were open, that's what's important.

Once the gate was open the two proceeded again to hack away all the weeds and trees out of the passageway.  Which took them another half a house.  "Chuck, when we get inside, the only thing else I'm cleaning will be where I bath and where I sleep, cause, this is tiring.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.  You where right the views are wonderful." said Alexanders as she sat down to rest for a minute.

When the weeds were all removed out of the entrance.  They both jumped back into their vehicles and headed into the promises.  Once they pulled the cars inside, Chuck stepped back out the car, grabbed the remainder of the motor oil and pour it all down the keyhole, with the key still inside.  Then he turned it and slowly and loudly the gates proceeded to close back up.

They both drive up the path, which the sides were made of old castle-like stone. Chuck was amazed to see that the roads, on the property were wide and paved.  Now the rest of the driving was simple and smooth.

When they reach the farm.  "Oh, my goodness, Chuck, this place is huge," Alexsander said as she parted her car and runs out.  "I know.  You know it's going to need a lot of work." he replied  "Don't worry, I'll help you.  But now, let go inside and look for the bathroom." she said then she reached into the trunk and withdraw her bags.  Chuck gave her a hand.  Then they both headed toward the front door.
