Minus eight days and counting down for the arrival of our first guests to the Most Westerly Hole in The Wall Recreational Area in the world. To bring our guests up to date, completed some finishing touches to the Multi-purpose building this morning, it is ready to move! The padded seating for your comfort has been installed to finish it up - there are a few more touches to do but some things should be kept secret until the right opportunity!
Your "campground hosts" spent the rest of the day in the recreational area, doing a lot of clean up work and a little re-arranging. I was able to get in and back blade 90% of the area with my snowplow. It works pretty good, as long as you back blade but could use a little hydraulic pressure when it is down. But it was a vast improvement. The sand is really helping, reportedly the tractor will be back on site tomorrow. It did dry up enough that I could drive the full width and length of the area except for where the Moose got stuck and in front of the Bear Den. By this evening, it was dry enough the Moose Clan got the trailer out so they can back it in instead of being broadside. We still have some drainage to contend with, seems that we have a real life glacier that we did not know existed. I had Erica take a picture of it and I have named it the Switch Back Trail Glacier. The gulley next to the "switch back" filled up with snow and it has not melted, it looks just like a glacier coming down the hillside. I will keep back blading, it the sandman does his thing we should be in real good shape if we do not get a lot of rain.
I spent the majority of my day, working on and cleaning the fire pit area. I apologize to the Alpha Bitch, but I had to borrow some of your rocks - but I replenished them by about two metric tons and expanded your flower bed - I did it in haste so you can rearrange them upon your arrival if you want to. You will also be happy to hear that the plants that you transplanted are coming up, but with the expansion, you are going to need a lot of plants! The Buffalo Clan and Bear clan will have to wait for any improvements until it dries up some. In regards to the "fire pit", I think you will enjoy and appreciate the new look. I wanted to do something about the large jagged rocks. I was afraid one of the "little people" would trip on them and end up getting burned, so I made it as "little people proof" as possible. I enjoyed the first fire of the season as I cleaned up around the area and burned the trash that I had raked up. I cleaned out the pit, remember all those bottles that you burned last year? I found them all! At any rate, we had a good day in the pit and look forward to your arrival.
