 A few things that will be added since there is plenty of room and at very little cost: Horseshoe pit and a large fire pit area with chairs.  Socializing is a thing, at least with some people, having a place to gather around will cost very little and add a bit of extra appeal.  There are other games that one can install that are not costly as well, but I'll have to look them up again. They aren't games I had ever heard of but were mentioned in a couple of posts that I was reading on Facebook.  

Oh, a corn hole game I could buy pre-made for around $50, I believe. Another cheap thing that can be near the horseshoe pit.  

I'm not adding a playground, at least not yet, it adds a lot to insurance costs.  There is plenty of room to play if a family happened to venture in, bring your own stuff to play with. Playgrounds aren't exactly cheap to build, either.  Perhaps I can put up a fenced in area and slowly start acquiring the things needed to have some semblance of one.  

However, that is not a priority and tho the park will be 'family friendly', there will be little for kids to do unless they like walking on trails.  Other than that, there is plenty to do in the area with lakes, museums, historical sites, plenty of already-built playgrounds, etc. 

There will be a list of all of the nearby attractions as well as a list of all nearby restaurants and stores that RV'ers may find handy including all of the propane service stations. There are 3 of them in our little town if I recall correctly.  One of them sells propane very cheap compared to others.  Tractor Supply also refills containers.  

Okay, well the insurance agent is "blowing up my phone". Welcome blowing up, she is attempting to find me insurance.  This is a local agent, I would rather be able to go to an office here and look at these people in the eyes with any problems than having to call some 800 number and get - lessor - service. We'll see what happens.  If this doesn't work out, then I'll attempt to use the nationally-recognized premiere leader in RV park insurance - so everyone claims.  

Plain, basic fire rings are 3 for $79 at Tractor Supply.  Perfect.  The employee is an outdoor enthusiast and told me that if I drill holes near the bottom of the rings, a "smokeless fire pit" would be created.  Apparently the air intake eliminates most or all of the smoke. Yes, that is highly desireable.  

I'm heading up to Lowe's to find some sort of tape or insulation you can wrap around the water lines to keep them from freezing and bursting. It's going to get below freezing tonight at 29 degrees predicted.  I hadn't even thought about this until I saw the weather forecast and was like, uhh, I better do something about that!  There's only 15 of them and 14 of the 15 are only maybe a foot up out of the ground. They did that on purpose both for freezing and for less exposure to damage from - people that don't know what they are doing.  

More job perusal has found several interesting things.  I will be keeping the names of these companies - all local work. Even if they take down their listing, I can still try to apply at these places whenever I'm at the point where I am ready to go back to work.  Not that I'm not working, folks, this stuff I have been doing is hard work and really takes it out of me!

Anyway, I need to get that tape and get that done.

G'day
