They mowed the area and there is a Dozer there. No other action has happened though as of yesterday.

I got lost trying to find the right spot, then got my pretty Jeep all dirty back in the woods trying to find my way out. Rule number one, don't follow me, I'm always lost at the Mounds. It's sooo big after all.....

As Jim pointed out, it sounds like there are several unanswered questions regarding what this project will become once it's finished. It sure stinks that we can't be involved in the design!!

Jim has literally put YEARS of due diligence into seeing this project come to fruition. Even though I have never been to the Mounds, I sincerely appreciate ALL of his work on this!!!

THANKS JIM!!!!

Actually to be truthful, we were literally 100% involved in the design, it's the 'execution' portion that we're not involved with. (Lets hope they can read blueprints!)
They used our Rock Crawl Design Guidelines as the basis for the entire facility.

So, are they building what we want, or what they want, or what they know we really meant when we told them what we wanted?

Do we have multiple 28" tired courses, or multiple courses to satisfy 28-38" tires?

This is being addressed at several different levels in our attempts to get someone who can provide a definitive answer and actually has a clue as to what they are talking about.

I realize this doesn't answer your question, but that is because we are still aggressively searching for that answer.

Thanks for clearing that up Jim. Guess I was wrong!

Does someone need to travel there and look at it?? Anyone want me to go there and snap some pictures of whats done? Anyone else want to go there and do it for me/us?

Do we know what they were planning on doing this year?

I'm not sure where it's located inside the Mounds, but I'm really not far from there. I could probably make it out there Thursday and take some pics.

Good idea Lucas!
