Spring Break '08 with Tri-Circle-D!!!

[stacktester]

Oh you had to remind me! I was so happy to have had a shower by the next time we ran into each other! I am so NOT a morning person! To this day, though, I wish I'd sucked it up (& maybe a breath mint too ) and invited you in for coffee! I was just so embarrassed to be meeting a disser for the first time with bed head!

Puhlease, you looked just fine. Besides what other kinda place would you be able to walk around in jams lol.

Here is an update for ClKelly and all of the other 2000 loop fans.

There are lots of new trees planted along the road around the side of the 2000 loop. Already things seem more private:

Once some of the trees fill in as summer arrives, the 2000 loop will be looking good!

Great report. Great photos too!!!

Thank you, sir. Coming from you that is a great compliment!

I have never seen so much maintenance going on at the Fort.

During my trip, there was a crew with a big truck which was essentially vacuuming out the drainage pipes that run under the loops. I don't think that this has been done in years.

Here they are in action:

You can tell these guys are pros, because only one guy was needed to do the work, and the rest stood around to watch!

On the 1800 loop, this work caused a little boo-boo (sinkhole), which was bigger than this photo makes it appear:

I am glad to see this work being done. I think, perhaps, it will help with the standing water issues that are now so obvious with the clearing that has been done.

TCD- great report and spying as usual. I love the pictures. The canals look REALLY good...I hope they are able to keep it up !!

 

[Mickey Canada]

Great pictures ...keep 'um coming!!

 

[loveDmouse]

Thanks for posting those pics. It is so awesome to see all this work being done at the Fort. I love it! So much has changed since we were there in December. Can't wait to see it all in person this December and try out our new premium site.

 

[loveDmouse]

I'll start with something easy.

Have any of you ever seen this golf cart before?

Well, now you have.

It looks like something that is actually used on a golf course, and there was a cast member driving it.

This photo was taken on Ft. Wilderness Trail, with the 700 loop in the background.

TCD

Ok, I just love that golf cart. How cool would that be. Although it might be a bear to load in an enclosed trailer.

Dude-
I have issues about putting up a Disboards sign on my site. I have three DD's, and the DW only spent part of the week with us, so it was just me and the girls most of the time, and sometimes they were alone at the campsite. I am not worried about my fellow Disboard members, but it kinds of makes me worry that anyone can read these posts, and figure out when and where we will be at the Fort.
TCD

I don't blame you on that. I have wondered about putting stuff up and saying too much personal info on boards. Not from any of us Dis members but just whoever may be looking that we don't know about. Maybe I am just paranoid but we do live in a crazy world.

Here is the info on the Disney Channel Games from the Disboards: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/channelgames.htm

It looks like all of the concert tickets are gone. We got ours through a passholder offer. Looks like it will be a mob scene!

The DD's want to stay at AKL for this trip. They found some info on line that that is where the "stars" will be staying.

I'll have a hard time shelling out the $$$ for AKL when the Fort has spaces available. We will see.



TCD

Thanks!

We took a DCL cruise back in 2005. I had a great time chatting it up on the Disboards, and I posted names, photos, etc. before the cruise. On the cruise, people kept coming up to my DW and DD's and telling them that they knew me from the disboards, and they knew their names, and a lot about them. It was all a lot of fun. On the cruise, I met a man who was a lurker, and who had read every one's posts. He was a nice guy, and he subsequently became a disboard member, but it really made me think. Anyone can get into the Fort without having to identify him or herself. It doesn't make me feel real safe. I have never had a problem there, and never even bother to lock the camper, but I don't want to announce my presence to the world.

You want some more?

Here you go.

My criteria for taking a photo at the Fort is that if it is something interesting, I will take a photo.

Here is an interesting tent. It looks like it was made by Jeep to attach to one of their vehicles. Pretty neat

And here is something interesting. A CPR dummy on a lifeguard cart (well, at least I thought it was interesting):

Great pics... keep sharing!!! We will be there tomorrow!!

 

[Tri-circle-D]

On this trip, I took a little trip out on the pet walk area behind the 1800 loop. Did you know that you can see the Osprey Ridge Golf Course from there?

So, I see some wildlife- I need a photo of that:

I need to get a little closer:

Wait, what is that going on back there?

See that crew working? There were a couple trucks, and a big wood chipper. What are these guys working on?

Check back tomorrow to find out

I saw them while We were there, our site was about 15' from where you took this pic. Did you see all the survey markers on the other side of the canal? They were everywhere, even back in the trees.
Great TR, keep it up, and glad to see you again.

Great pics! Can't wait until December.

Does make you wonder. Luckily they were nice people.

TCD

As we all know, I take lots and lots of photos(way more than I post, believe it or not). It is good to see all of yours, they are much more interesting. I have never been behind the 1800 loop before. You're giving me the itch to go exploring on this next trip.

I moved this to chitchat thread so as not to completely hijack TCDs killer report!!!
