Building a small RV park, Part 3

Spray grass seems like what I need to get grass growing again.

if you have any area at all, and the people that do it use the right grass seed, then yes. But that being said, it's a gamble. All it takes is one good storm to ruin thousands of dollars of spray-on grass! Yep, one good storm and your neighbor has a bunch of new grass!

Mine is starting to turn green. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.

She's beautiful!

Thanks I love her to bits.

Haven't gotten much done since the 2023 season opened but here are a some pictures of the place now that the trees have gotten some leaves. It's really gonna be a nice place to camp!

Haven't had time to thin the trees out and exploit the view, but it's out there!

We can’t wait to see the new sites and stay a while. Looks like things are coming together.

It's really looking nice Jim, all the work will be worth it.I almost forgot $$.

As luck would have it (or lack of luck I should say) the road up to the new sites wasn't offering the comfort level required to make guests feel warm-n-fuzzy. So I'm paving it. Rats, didn't want to have to do that. . .

So while I was busy spending our SS, I decided to have them do the entrance as well. I've noticed a few of the bigger rigs getting a little loose in the gravel, especially on dry days, so this will end that problem. Will help a bunch with the dust too!

They did the entrance today and will converge on the 700' of road up to the top tomorrow.

Sweet!

Might need to change the name from RV Park to RV Resort

 

[Headhunter]

Looks GREAT Jim, First class all the way. Believe me I know how much blacktop paving costs these days. I had a 225 yard driveway ten feet wide and 6500 sq. ft at the top paved a few years back, OUCH.

Your place LOOKS OUTSTANDING....!!!

Beautiful. One of these days, we'll make it there. It's on my bucket list. Still dealing with that " time off "
thing. I still love my job, so at least there's that.

Black Gold $$

lol, boy, you nailed it!

Some random pictures of the new road going up to what we will call "Deer Springs Wilderness Loop".

I think it's safe to say that no one looking to put profits first would ever hire me. lol, but hey, I'm having a good time!

We appreciate your focus on quality. Your place is amazing and it just gets better.

How long before the asphalt is firm enough for 45Klb rigs to head up there without rutting it up or leaving dents if they pause? My uncle had a pretty steep driveway at his old lake house on Keowee and we were there a week after it was paved. A new refrigerator was needed ASAP and I had my Dakota there so off we went to Lowes. Parking on the steepest section right in front of the front (non-lakeside) door just for 20 minutes left 1" deep divots, worse so with the rear tires (parking brake) where it looked like it slid about 1" downhill while smearing the asphalt, all in only 20 minutes and with a very light truck.

Not sure to be honest. But we're not opening this area until May of 2024, so I'm sure we'll be OK.

You gonna be the first one up?
