Free burgers and dogs
First rigs on the new sites
Our RV park has nearly completed the fourth and final stage of its development – the addition of about 50 new sites. They were supposed to be ready for occupancy on Jan 1, but as with most construction projects there have been problems and delays. The most significant problem was Hurricane Michael. The arrival of the hurricane in October did no direct damage to the park, but drew all of the utility workers north to repair the damage. As a result, the new section is not wired for electricity yet. In desperation the developer has installed a generator that will provide electrical service to half of the new sites. I guess half the revenue is better than none.
So, on New Year’s Day, the first RVs took up residence in the new section. After months of looking at nothing but empty sites it was nice to see the area being used. But apparently the generator was having some problems. Four of the first seven occupants complained of some kind of electrical issue.
The park greeted the rigs arriving on New Year’s Day with a cookout – free burgers and hot dogs. It was a nice gesture and a beautiful day. I volunteered to help with the grilling and Jett volunteered to help with the greeting.
