February 27 - Resort Adventures

February 27, 2019
Day 58 - 307 Days to go
2 Days until March 1
Base Camp Coffee of the Day: Lost in the Dark (Colombian Dark French Roast)

Today was another one of those "Run all over the Place" days. It began with an early morning (6am) trip to Ozark to pick up supplies from storage for The Last Resort. After unloading in Rockaway Beach, this was immediately followed by a run to Branson to pay bills, do some banking, grab some lunch and then head to the treehouses. Finally, things got interesting. We talked with Randy, our "Treehouse Master" and saw the progress on the latest treehouse construction site. It's an "Old Mill" themed cabin and the exterior construction is nearing completion. This treehouse is our tenth treehouse cabin and they are really gaining in popularity. I stopped in the office while there and found out that the Springtime is getting booked up more this year than it ever has in the past. We built our first one in 2014 and the demand continues to grow. 

Paul and Pat looking after the RV park
Along with the great news, there's also the "Other" news. In this case, I found Pat and Paul digging around the RV Park looking for a broken water line. They said that they were seeing a wet area on the lower road that wouldn't go away so figured there was a leak. It happens every couple years so it's not like they haven't had to do this before. The place is really not old enough to have problems with things breaking due to age. With the water lines, it's usually related to someone trying to drive their RV away after forgetting to disconnect their waterline from the hydrant. In any case, a fix somewhere every couple years is just part of the routine. 

The Last Resort Project:
We brought more cabins back to life yesterday. Mainly it was electrical service to some of them so we would be able to run tools and equipment to continue the various repairs necessary to get them back to respectable condition. Rain and colder weather will prevent any work to the outside areas but will free up time to get some serious work done on the inside for the next few days.
