Building a Small RV Park - Year 2

[Jim]

Things have been busy around here.

In light of the wonderful performance we are getting with Starlink, I bought one of those overpriced, ugly, prefab buildings and did my best to hide it behind some trees. I'm using this ugly box to install the network and supporting infrastructure that will take "Dishy" to a height of digital enlightenment that only his satellite tracking self can appreciate.

I also mixed and poured approximately 3,300 lbs of Sakrete and installed a 55' tower that we will mount Dishy on. To help Dishy get the signal out, I'm installing 2-Mesh antenna's that will provide Internet service to all sites in the park equally. Right now the modem is just sitting on a countertop at the campsite host site. It's doing OK, but it's not perfect. We hope to change that!

Also started the home for my (new-to-me) London Aire, which I am told I may actually be able to bring home one day.

Life is good!

Well we arrived at Deer Springs for a week of R&R. Even with a little rain, it feels great to get out of town. It was nice to finally meet you Jim and Trish, and if Mother nature cooperates tomorrow, I get to check out your campground.

And Trish and I were glad to finally put a face with a name and find that they are 2 of the nicest people one would care to meet. It turns out, we have a lot in common and have done many similar things as we worked our way to our present places in life.

And their beautiful shinny Dutch Star makes Site #1 look GOOD! Check out the reflection of the campground flag in the second picture.

Nice look!

I think your beautiful campground makes our coach look good.

And what campground would be complete without some Clay Pot People? This is Trish's first time making CPP, but I'm sure they'll be all over the place next year.

 

[Jim]

Yeah, I think they're pot heads.

@Jim ... how's site #4 looking now-a-days? We will be pulling in (I mean backing in) on it in about three (3) weeks. Really looking forward to getting back up there and maybe some cooler weather (vs. S Florida). I did send you an email the other day. Hope you got it.

Yes Steve, got your email and followed up this morning.

Weather last night was mid 60's, no rain and an almost full moon was making for some awesome skies. Several campfires across the park added to the ambiance and everyone was enjoying themselves.

At 6:30 this morning, The International Space Station was visible for about 7 minutes as it made its way across the sky, and that's always cool!

Looking forward to seeing your new coach and visiting with you and Lisa again.

See you soon!

You know, I have learned to really like you Deer Springs folk. However, jealously is beginning to rear its ugly head.….good stuff @Jim , good stuff.
