Building a small RV park, Part 3

[Buster]

Massive amount of work to get to where you are. Wish I had 10% of your energy. A couple more years of that and you'll be one of the top desination parks in the country for that type of resort. Very impressive.

Nice so nice…. Beautiful views for sure.

Ryker is just like our Lexi, she goes nowhere without her frisbee and she will not give it up for anything.

When she gets out and about in the cornfield and we call her she doesn’t come all we have to say is “I’m going to get your frisbee”. She’s back in a flash!

Looks great Jim.

Thanks John! While we were putting in the road up to the new sites, we had to remove 3 of the larger white pine trees that were in front of our site (the one you stayed in last year). But I don't see that as a bad thing, given that it's so darn cold in October/November that we could certainly use the extra sunlight.

Anyhow, looking forward to seeing you guys again!

Thank you, Buster! And welcome to the forum, I think you're going to find some good friends here.

They're wonderful dogs and companions. Love to see some pictures of Lexi!

And the opening of the western US Deer Springs park is when?

And the opening of the western US Deer Springs park is when?

lol, funny. Today we've been trenching waterlines (all 800' of them) and we'll start installing piping tomorrow or Thursday, or the next time it doesn't rain.

You're looking at Site 12. My truck is parked at the rear of the site, where the rear of a motorhome or 5th wheel would sit. And it goes in front of my truck for another 80' or so. Width of the lot is from the truck over to that mound of dirt just to the left of Ryker. It's easily 80' long and 50' wide.

Wait until the leaves turn green, probably another week or so, and things will really soften up! Can't do any grass or landscaping until the roads and septic's are in, but this group of sites will be astounding!

Site #1 (The Oak) got a new refrigerator today!

Great, my favorite spot. We are finally getting some dry weather down here hope you are also.

 

[Jim]

1,000 foot of water line installed yesterday!

Putting rock on the road that will take you up to the top of the mountain and the new sites.

Thank you to Joe & Corrie Dodds, who offered to test out the new road going up to the top of Deer Springs RV Park!

Joe & Corrie have an awesome 2021 - 26' Black Series HQ19 travel trailer. But this beast is anything but your average TT, and we think it looks pretty darned good sitting up at what will soon become the "Deer Ridge" section of our park.

 

[Jim]

Sprayed 5 truckloads of grass on the sides of the road, all the sheer banks, and anywhere that we need to control erosion.

I'll have to spend a few days with the chainsaw doing nothing but opening up the view. All the big trees will remain, but the little scrubby ones with all the dense foliage, will have to be removed.

But once they are gone, the view will really be nice.

 

[Jim]

Looks great Jim!

Looking forward to seeing that view once you get that chainsaw going.

Thank, Jimbo! And welcome to the forum.

Here she is saying she doesn’t want to go in but instead saying “I want a belly rub” I have no idea if my pics are large I am not very good at posting pics. Sorry if they are huge.
