Pool party last night, we stayed up rather late - 1:30 am - before going to bed.  They had some friends over and after the pool we were playing a card game that, well, you can't finish the game in one night's worth of play.   

Anyway, 7:30 am rolled around and it was time to get up and go.  I just can't go out to the property in 100 degree heat with a heat index of 108 or higher, it's either get out there early or don't go at all.  

So, a couple brisk-paced hikes around the permiter of the rear of the property took me 20 minutes and then off to the front of the property where I used marking paint to put arrows on the ground for a proposed route for the telephone poles/lines.  I will not be able to be there tomorrow morning, I'm going to call and leave a message today with the engineer.  He can go out there and look at my arrows without me and come up with a plan - or - if he has to have me out there, it's going to be later on in the week.  Maybe not even until next week.  

I was also wondering if my utility trailer could be pulled to the rear of the property with my ATV instead of going out and buying a small trailer for the ATV. I'm all over keeping costs down right now as the costs of the utilities mount and my finances are dwindling.  

Having said that, I still need to have the mulcher dude come out for one more day of clearing more trails and cleaning up an existing one that he missed.  I had shown it to him but it just slipped his mind.  No biggies, but there is also a road I want put in there and a couple of the camp sites I want made a bit larger.  It might not even be a full day's worth of work, but I'm budgeting 8 hours for 8 it. In fact, I can assert it's probably half a day's work - he charges by the hour but I think he has a half day minimum. Can't blame him, the cost of fuel to bring his equipment out there and the time spent I would very likely have a minimum as well.

The other thing I absolutely need is some sort of machine to keep the trails cleared.  I'm thinking just get a riding mower for now and hope that it won't get stuck or otherwise be useless back there, but some of the trails are starting to get covered with weeds and I just can't have that.  

It would be nice if Mother Nature could turn the temp down over there. Yea, it's summer in Texas, probably not going to happen anytime soon.

Well anyway, the reason I am hoping my trailer can make it back there is to be able to haul all the materials I need to build that bridge.  I have a shopping list, I need to get up to Lowe's and price everything out.  I found a particular video on YouTube showing how to build a bridge that will handle the weight of a 4 wheeler. It's 4X4's and 2X6's mostly.  About 5 feet wide with safety rails.  

I have other ideas that I am going to implement in the future. I have so much space that installing a single vehicle wash rack isn't out of the question and wouldn't cost much to put up. At least not my version of one.  

I have determined that however it has to happen, I need wifi out there.  I need to be able to monitor the property remotely, there is too much money going into that setup and I have been reading of park owners suffering vandalism at the hands of kids taking their various off road vehicles onto their land and tearing up their property.  Well, not even just kids, adults too.  Put a camera on the entrance driveway and one on whatever small building I end up with to house the wifi equipment and whatever else.  I wouldn't mind putting a soda machine in there as well as a snack vending machine.  I'm not sure about a washer dryer set up yet.  Maybe not at the start.  I've got to pick my money making schemes wisely.  A vending machine is going to sam's club, buying the snacks and drinks and taking it to the property. A washer/dryer will require the outlets, water supply and drain. 

I don't necessarily think my septic system is going to be big enough to handle all of the RV's AND a washer setup, but then again, today's modern machines don't really use that much water.  

Amazingly, it's almost 10:00 am and I'm still the only one in the house that is awake lol.  

No idea what I'm going to do today, what I needed to get done is .... done.

G'day.
