Tree Wrecked Rig Gone

 

Adventure Location:

We got in a walk this morning disguised as a trash run to the dumpsters. The OFM was doing fairly well for a change and not hurting badly during the whole walk. The soccer field just south of the campground had a temporary walking path route change about a year that took us down an old path that got muddy at times. Well we noticed that as we approached the soccer field the fencing had been changed to allow walking/biking access again. But golf carts and motor vehicles did not have access. This is good. At specific points in all the fencing there are access points of just straight posts to allow access again like this.

So as of today our old paved path is once again available and the youth soccer now has a paved area to store their goals on when other events happen on the soccer field. Over all this is a wonderful improvement in usability for the whole facility. It also allowed the rest room facility to be reopened for walkers/bikers to use while on the trail system. Overall we think it is a wonderful improvement for Point Mallard Park.

This afternoon the tree wrecked travel trailer was taken from the campground. The hauling crew definitely had their job cut out for them. They were fortunate in that the rig could be pulled away on its own axles and frame. However they did have to use a large flat bed truck to push the two damaged slide outs into the main structure. That was interesting to watch the trailer body scrunch up to allow the slide to crunch up into the main body. This picture was taken on the way out of the park out front of the Castle. Notice there is a little bit of oops to the rig now.

There is still plenty of tree parts and trailer body parts laying around the original lot. We guess it will take about two days to ready the site for a new occupant.

Well that is about it for tonight. Everyone relax and get some good rest tonight,
