Yesterday wasn't a bust, but it certainly too a lot longer to finish up that gate, tighten the fencing and build that bench than I expected it to.  It took so long that by the time I got the trailer hooked up and got out of there, it was too late to do anything else beyond going to the store for dinner items.  

Anyway, I am going to get out there earlier today, tho I need to go get that sign and go to lowe's and get the materials to install the sign.  I'm sort of getting tired of spending money on this venture, but these signs are completely necessary. With people saying the main highway sign is too small and they can't see it and then seeing an RV stop in the middle of the driveway because they were unsure of where to go - well, we're going to fix that. 

The small highway sign was never intended to be permanent.  I am hoping to find a place along the other major highway through there that will allow the sign and not chuck it when highway workers find it.  The sign for the driveway wasn't foreseen.  But I could instantly see how a person driving up the main driveway could get confused. The exit only sign on works for the exit, but all of those pull through lots you could easily just pull into from the wrong direction.

Without signage, they have no idea where to go - well, I do have a "rv park entrance" sign at the entrance, but they can't see it from the point where the confusion begins.  It's a small investment for automation purposes, since I'm going back to work sooner or later here, people need to be able to navigate the thing on their own. 

Anyway, the software system for reservations has yet to be used by a single person.  It's not hard to use, I'm just not getting the customer interest.  I'm not sure what else I can do within budget to get people in. I'm trying to get wifi in there, that's a must, but Fidelity engineers are taking their sweet old time about it.  My Google ad is getting some views and some clicks, but so far it hasn't generated a single person coming into the park either short or long term.  It may be a bust, I don't know, there is still quite a bit of time left in that ad campaign. But, as I said before, after this? It's just going to be on-going ads for free in Facebook marketplace.  I'll be looking for any local venues that aren't internet based to see if I can post ads as well.  

I don't know if such things even exist anymore, the internet has taken over everything.

Well, I'm fixing to get out of here. Get the signs, get to Lowe's and then get back to the property.  If the fire pit is dried up yet, I'm taking the block out of it and starting a new one next to it and just fill that back in. It just fills up with water and takes many days for it to dry out.  It'll take half an hour to build the pit above ground. Let's change that to an hour and a half. Seems like everything ends up taking far longer than predicted lol.  That's it.  I want a cord of wood and build those benches that I already have the wood for.  

Go up and dig out the holes for the sign.  I don't even know if I'm supposed to be asking permission, but since my temporary sign was never taken down, I am just going to try. It's on state highway easement.  The small sign is sandwiched in between 2 permanent signs. One for the private rv park and the other for a Baptist church.  The new sign will go right there, in between those permanent signs. There's just enough room to put it in there.  

As for anything else today? yea that's probably a good amount of goal to get done or finish some and start on another.  I have fires to burn as well, but that takes constant attention to fueling it with wood from the area where the wood is stacked up.  So I dunno if I"m even going to try that today.  

G'day
