The dam was cleared of trees and reinforced so that vehicles will eventually be able to drive on it. |
The pond has been repaired at Ranger Trails Camp!
Commander Jason Lassitter and one of his employees, Stan Smith, from section 12, went to Ranger Trails Camp this past week-end and worked from can to can't to get our pond repaired. These guys really worked hard and got a lot done in a little bit of time. Jason hauled his bulldozer all the way up from the coast. He was able to work out a deal with a heavy equipment dealer in Jackson to be able to use a large track hoe for the week-end (no charge). With both of them working they were able to accomplish a lot. Here is a list of some of the other things they were able to do:
- They cleared the hill looking down into the pond so we can keep it clean.
- Took down the dead oak trees at old FCF village area.
- Removed about six stumps and leveled the parking area.
- Cleared around the swimming pool fence.
- Removed trees and widened the driveway in front on the lodge by the rope swing.
- Cleared area around the sewage treatment plant.
- Leveled the area at the big field to create more room for large FCF events, parking, or camping.
I was able to be with them this week-end and thanked them continuously for what was being done. If you get the opportunity give Jason a call, drop him a letter, send him an e-mail, send up a smoke signal or holler real loud and let him know how much he is appreciated.
I feel like this four year old thorn in my side finally festered up and popped. What a relief!
I love it when a plan comes together!
