Have not read al the post on this one, but Star Link is coming your way in the not so far off future. In you case it may be of great service to you. Betas are going now. Have you signed up yet. LOLIf I can shame Verizon or AT&T to put up some equipment on the tower I'll be set. If not, then I'll have to bring in some satellite Internet, but I didn't want to do that if I didn't have to. As far as I know, there is only Viasat or Hughes to work with and they both suck.
Update on the layout.
I found a spot on the hill that I can comfortably get a road to and I plan to add this new site to the lot. I’ll clear a pad big enough that someone can turn a 45’ motor home around. It’ll be completely surrounded with trees and will be an awesome secluded spot. Very nice short and long range views and it's stay cool all summer long.
Also, I'll hang a 2-meter antenna from the tallest tree and stretch out a multi band dipole between some of the other trees. Given the elevation of 3,500', I think it'll be a perfect site for someone with a ham radio on board. There’s a bunch of those hams out there these days, lol. I know i was surprised to find out just how many RV’ers are hams. So this should be a wonderful place for them to stay. It's not a selling point to many RV'ers, but it's a nice perk for those who would use it. And given I already have the antenna's, coax and other associated parts, it's not going to add any appreciable expense to the project.
yes count us in.Yes it would. 13 miles west of Franklin NC. Out hwy 64W, Are you ready to book a weekend?![]()
You obviously live right, @Jim! I'm afraid it it was my project, my neighbor would probably try to get me shut down. Sure hope the fiber install works out well.A huge update in my quest for Internet at the park. Turns out a friend of mine (also a neighbor) is funding a fiber deployment company. On Friday he contacted me to see if there was interest in splitting the bill to have them install fiber to our respective properties. Of course I could hardly contain my excitement. So yesterday they came by and looked the property over to develop an install plan. There is nothing guaranteed but it looks good so far. I'll know more in a couple of weeks.
Me too! I really need this to happen, otherwise satellite is my only option and satellite sucks on all levels. A good solid connection takes me a long ways to making this a successful park. Or at the very least, one that can compete with the dozens of others in the area.Sure hope the fiber install works out well.

Hi Lemondrop. I've only been around this area since 2006 so I'm not sure what was happening back in the 70's. That being said, there are several "Pan for rubies" operations around the county and they always seem to have a pretty good crowd. My niece and her family came out to visit a few years ago and the first place Rob (her husband) wanted to go was Ruby Mine, and try his luck. He takes his plunder back home and runs it through some kind of tumbler and then polishes them up. They look a lot like rocks to me but he's always happy with the outcome. lolIs ruby mining still as popular in this area as it was back in the '70's? Our kids always enjoyed playing in the mud & from time to time we actually found something that was worth having made into jewelry.
This is going to be a 1st class RV resort.
