Where The Wind Takes Us: One Doggie Field After Another!
The electrician was here first thing in the morning to splice the electric line to Cabin 1.
Since it is Friday, they only dug up to where they need to start hand digging for the wire across to Cabin 2. They also worked on making spaces 7 and 8 rentable.
Below is showing the location of both the electric line and water line to cabin 1.
They guys had quite the day today, they managed to cut both the fiber optic lines for our internet for the park, and the power lines for Tent village.
The fiber optic line is where the orange cone is in the pic below, and the power lines are in the foreground.
3Rivers came right out and put a splice in the line. Look closely, the splice is a box on the outside of the ditch on the left. There is a 2nd splice on the other side of the sewer ditch in the fiber ditch. It was interesting seeing how they welded the fibers that are color coded together.
This pic is for an idea where the fiber optic line is. The electricity line for Tent Village is up the ditch to the left.
The Electrician came by the next morning and spliced the electric wires for tent village.
Ok, it is starting to look like progress. The farthest tree (were the mobile home is) in the pic is where we started, at the Sewer main for the City.
There are power lines going to spaces 1-6 about where the orange cone is at, and the guys have gotten past the natural gas line.

The guys brought in a cool machine, it is basically a pressure washer to dig the hole and a large tank attached to a vacuum hose to suck it all up out of the hole.
Made a great hole to see the Natural gas line at the bottom, and maybe an old cable TV line at the top.
Suzi, Joe, and Sara took a little drive over to check out the Dinosaur Museum.
We found a Killdeer nest in the middle of our field while mowing. Ronnie has named her Kelley 'Kildeer' Kirkley.
She has 4 eggs in her nest.
She was not happy that I was looking at her nest, and was showing me her fake broken wing, when I moved she hopped right back on her nest.
I also checked on the Robins nest. I think the first shot is mom, this
ut second shot is an unhappy baby?
Heard the Sand hill Cranes were right by the road out at Eureka Lake where they often spend their summers, so Sarah and I headed over to check it out.
4th of July slowed progress, but the guys are back at it.
Made it to site 7, but they had to do a lot of hand digging to get past water, sewer, and electric lines
Slow progress the last couple days.
The guys did a lot of hand digging due to electric lines and water lines in space 8.
But they have made it past space 8
In the pic below I am standing where there is a clean out for the sewer. It is near where the 6" Y is located one side is concrete pipe to the main building the other is the new line we are putting in.
They will take a break for the 4th of July, then they will be back.
Boomer likes the nice pea gravel they are using to fill around the pipe.
The pea gravel it will help keep the pipe from having holes rubbed into it from larger rocks, plus I am told it will protect the pipe from having the large RV's crushing the pipe.
Started hooking existing sewer lines to the new 6 inch pipe today.
The cone is the shut off valve for the water line we found yesterday. The 2 white pipes are 4 inch existing lines from the park on the north side of the new 6 inch line.
The digger got across the road, and vollia they struck water. It is a water pipe that we have no idea where it goes, but it does NOT go to our park.
The break is at this end of the ditch, the sewer main is in the distance.
They put a shut off valve on the pipe and turned our water back on. We confirmed All our water is working in the park, so we think the water was going to a neighbor? On the bright side, we found out the shut off valve at the meter works, and we were able to turn off the water to the whole park.
Shut off valve is under cone in pic.
