Building a small RV park, Part 3

[purring along]

At your place in SC?

Yes, we are back in SC. replacing the kitchen wood floors.While we were gone for 2 months, the ice line to the fridge leaked. I am going to install a shut off from the half of the house my daughter gets water from. You look like you're having more fun than me!

Took the letters from yesterday and built a foundation to put them on, and now we have a sign to replace the one that self-destructed the end of last year. This one is built better and should hold up for years to come.

I Love this forum! I stumbled across this thread and clicked on the web address www.deerspringsrvpark.com WOW! It's now a reality and gets a perfect 10 on Campground Reviews. We're heading that way in early fall and hope to secure a site for a week.

Hey neighbor! We're just up the road a piece in Garden Ridge. I made reservations for Deer Springs for July two months ago and at that time the sites were filling quickly so I suggest firming up your plans for the fall sooner than later. Safe travels.

Getting close to putting rock on the road that takes us up to the top. We took a ride up there a little while ago, and shot a quick video of what's to come. Still not many leaves on the trees, but that'll cure itself in about 10 days. I think you'll get an idea of what to expect when it's finished.

As luck would have it, an airplane flew over at the same time! We hardly EVER hear any traffic in the air. But sure, now that I'm shooting a video, a noisy plane flies over! Just goes to show how high we are, lol. Reach out and touch the pilot.

And then Ryker, who saw that we were filming him, decided to go do his usual hide/seek routine. Funny dog.

And here's a quick ride down the new road. Hope to be putting rock on it next week. Still a couple of trees to remove to make room at the bottom. But when it's complete, there will be plenty of room to roll a 350 dually pulling a 45' 5th wheel. Road is minimal of 25' wide, and upwards of 35' in areas. Unlikely that we would ahve 2 large vehicles on the road at the same time, but should it happen, I wanted to make sure there was plenty of room for everyone to pass.

Here are some stills.

Looking at Site # 1 at the top.

Looking into Site #2 from Site #3. There is at least 75'-100' between the sites. And the sites themselves, well they are HUGE!

Site #3 (below) will be a pull-through site. My Jeep is sitting where your RV will sit. This site will accommodate any length of rig, as will any of the other 3 sites. At this site, your awning opens to the right, and views the mountains in the distance. Very nice site!

Lousy pic of Site #4, but this is looking out from the rear. There are two large Oak trees at the entrance of this site. In this picture, the skid steer is in the middle where the RV would park. I'm standing at the rear of the RV, looking toward the front. Your awning will open to the right and you'll be looking out over (and into) the surrounding mountains.

We have grass scheduled to be sprayed as soon as the water lines are in and the roads are complete. When these sites are landscaped and Trish does her stuff, these sites will be absolutely over-the-top!

It just keeps getting better! We're looking forward to spending a week in July.

And Trish and I are looking forward to meeting you all as well!

Jim, I was trying to read along until the last pic with all those delicious looking logs! I'm envious, even if they are oak.

You can have as many as you want, just come and get em!

Tempting but it looks like the better part of three hours and 130+ miles one way. Now, if you have a bunch of cherry or walnut in the Ø18" - 30" range 8' or better long, I'll be there!

Looks great Jim.
