Treehouse questions

Q: What wild animal injures more visitors in National Parks each year than any other?

A: Deer.

I'd have thought it would be "man." I guess it depends upon your definition of "wild".

Don't know if you have the snakes we know around here as "black racers." they will chase you, but they don't attack, and they aren't poisonous. One chased my mother onto a concrete patio at our lakehouse, many years ago, but was unable to keep his speed up, once he hit that smooth concrete. Again, these snakes are harmless - but they can almost seem mischievous. Of course, I guess that they don't realize that kind of behaviour can get them killed.

And there's my "silly story" for the day - although also true.

In South Florida, we have black racers and also Everglades Racers - a light grey/greenish snake. Both are very quick for short distances, but they are normally very skittish. It's usually hard to get close to them because they take off.

I think "chasing" is one of those "eye of the beholder" things. I had an alligator "chase" me one day, but all it was really trying to was to get back to its den...which was conveniently located right beneath where I was standing.

I think there are several groups THV will not appeal to.

One is the folks who are not comfortable with bugs, lizards, frogs, and -- dare I say it? -- snakes. Or racoons, possums, squirrels, deer, etc. A lot people really are creeped-out by critters, and THV will be a critter-rich environment.

The other demographic is folks who depend on the bus system. It probably doesn't make sense to have dedicated buses for 60 villas, but to me the bus plans look really problematic.

Also, you need a pretty good-sized party to justify the points cost of THV. I think THV will be awesome for a party of six (8-9, not so much) but I wouldn't stay there with my family of 3. THV would be 60% more points per night than an OKW 1 BR, which suits us perfectly. So that points-cost will eliminate people who could do fine in a studio or 1 BR.

All that said, with only 60 villas, I think THV is going to be a very tough ressie inside 7 months.

You left out the group like me who finds the decor utterly unappealing. I'm sure it has its fans, but I'll stick with BLT. It's great to have lots of choices!
