That sounds good to me...I'm nuts about streams & waterfalls all of a sudden
(especially since it rained like crazy).  If there are no strong objections,
I'll see what I can do to add some flavour to the scenery.

Let's work together on this then.  I've got some ideas too.  Perhaps
we could look after 68,69,82,83,96, and 97?

As for changing baseplates (at 82 & 83), I have no idea what other plates to
put there.  What does the angled "driveway" look like?

Sorry.  I should have posted a link or picture.  It's the baseplate
from (among others) 1682 (an awesome set BTW!):

a better picture of the baseplate:

   (don't know why half these instruction scans are upside down!!)

If we used that baseplate, you would have to make sure that your
tunnel lined up correctly.  Incidentally, I do have a couple of these
plates.

Anyway, another method, which may be even better, would be to build up
a bit of a road with plates.  We could leave a main grey plate road
going winding it's way eventually to the tunnel, and perhaps have a
brown or tan trail (hikers, mountain bikes, etc.) leaving the main
road if we wanted.  Lots of options.  What do you think?
