Building a small RV park, Part 3

[Bigblockyeti]

I don't have a dog but $10 sounds reasonable to me, especially given what you're charging. I still think a pistol (or full blown gun) range would be quite appealing, even with a fee.

Pretty pup! And the good news is Site #7 has access to a short path that goes directly to where the (planned) dog wash will be! You guys will like Site #7, it's a favorite with everyone who visits.

Yup…they were changing in just the week we were there. View attachment 21190View attachment 21191

We arrived at Deer Springs late in the day on Friday and got settled. On Saturday afternoon, we finally got a chance to walk around and take a look at the park and also the work Jim has been doing at the creek. Once we got there, we found a surprise…Jim had named the area “Adam’s Creekside Park.”

To say we were touched is an understatement. As some of you know, we travel with our 31 year old son who has Autism, Epilepsy and something called Catatonia. We had let Jim know that we like to go with walks and see creeks and streams and sometimes Adam likes to play or rearrange rocks in the streams or watch float leaves down. So although Jim had said he was had planned a creekside area prior, he said this gave him the incentive to work towards it.

It is a beautiful area and we deeply appreciate all of the work Jim and Trish put in to have it ready for our arrival. All for a person they had never met. Again, we were deeply touched, and a bit choked up when we saw the sign.

Thanks again to Jim and Trish for touching surprise.

Hello Rich-- I just now got caught up on Jim's progress and read your post about Adam. Very touching indeed. How wonderful of Jim and his wife. I'm sorry we had to reschedule last fall as we would have had the pleasure of meeting you three. We rescheduled our visit for arrival October 7 through the 11th. Nice to see how beautiful the fall colors will be. All the best to you and your family,

Meet Luba, our new GPS guided, battery powered robot lawn mower!

Hopefully she'll take some of the work off our campground host. If we ever find a campground host, lol.

Program that thing up and you can use it to dispense a cocktail and lead people to their actual spot after they check in.

Have it operational before July 1st, and I'll take a "Margarita" on the rocks, with salt!

Making some headway with a bunch of transplanted trees/shrubs, 90 tons of crusher run, a 65 bags of mulch, and a pile of Tennessee River Stone. Sites #13 and #14 are starting to take shape. It'll be nice when the trees start to get their leaves again.

I can see Trish has been hard at it again. She has it looking good.

Took my rig up to check for level pads and snapped a couple of quick shots to give you an idea of how the RV look when positioned in the site. Not bad for $50 a night, lol.

Looks great! Do you think an old Mountain Aire can make it up there to the top of the mountain?
