It's been a while but I now have a cobblestone section of the driveway.

Backstory:
--------------
15 years ago I worked for a German company and the president of the company took me to a town called Esslingen and showed me parts of the town built around 800 bc.

Some parts of the town were not as old, but many parts looked like this:



Cobblestone streets everywhere.

New Story:
--------------
In 2012, while I was buying a horrific foreclosure, Jeff68 suggested going with cobblestone on the driveway.

It took a long time, but I finally have a driveway that is part cobblestone. I took this picture today:

It's good that I don't have to plow that part of the driveway. I'd end up plowing big sections out of it.
