Early Spring ? #9 DENALANE.BLOGSPOT.COM


                                                                                       



Pretty quiet week...  put off visiting our emergency services people for wifi time.... but, did not forget. 


Time to contemplate landscaping/cleanup of your space...a FYI, there are tools of agony available for hurting your back or getting your fingernails uncleanable (shovel, rake, trimmers, etc) and the two ladders behind the office are for your roof, caulking, etc. and cleaning as well, there are garden hose, buckets, on and on for all of your spring cleaning fun... if you need any of this, speak up.

I also just donated some spare sewer and fresh water 'hook up" hoses, and sewer fittings should you suffer a failure, we have an abundance of Pride of Madeira bushes sprouting down here on the South-end, if you want to transplant, this is a perfect time, we are going to be forced to cull some before spring.

Potholes and speed limit signs are next week !!

Starting All Over - #8 DENALANE.BLOGSPOT.COM


                                                       YEAR OF THE WOOD SNAKE

Like an old-time wind-up kitchen timer, we rewind to zero and start again... if you are seeing/listening to the quiet talk about homeless numbers, food costs, and housing expense trends, you should be thankful for your current lifestyle and our 12-space colony.  

The WiFi upgrade was/is a cat fight, currently spaces 1 through 7 have a decent/useable signal established...  and, we have identified the problems for spaces 8 through 12...  (just ordered the needed parts and materials yesterday), but, report any new problems if they arise, and be patient.

Again, a call is going out for your email and text number,  we have opened the comments link (click the <comments> link down below) for civil use, but be sure to add your space number !

Some potential RV park changes and additions have been proposed for 2025, and having your input (opinion) would be a big influence on those final decisions... reopening the shower-bath house facility, and adding in a on-site coin-op wash/dry laundry room are the two biggies up for discussion/comment. 

Again, The "Comments" link has just been added to this blog... check it out (space # required) click the <comments> link down below.

Safety/Emergency services/evacuation Update:

Thinking about our Paradise Point RV wildfire season, Tsunami Warnings, Wind Storms, Flood, Medical Emergency, or Sheriff/Police, Air-Life, and 911 support for 2025, our being out of the city limits, on an obscure cul de sac, we need to be sure we here at PPRV are a "known" quantity, so, a trip through the first-responder system is planned, with the fire hall-police-sheriff for a start, l am planning to take a swing by our Port Orford emergency support team for an introduction and will give everyone a space location map of the park, and discuss "what ifs"... more on here when that happens.

DID YOU KNOW ?   Port Orford is a registered international dark skies city  (one of only a few in the US)  and, we are also part of DarkSkyOregon.org and, DarkSkyPortOrford as well, check those three links out, and enjoy the stars (if you do not already do so).


The Dark Sky designation is a collaborative process that includes input from residents, businesses, and industry to support Dark Sky tourism as a sustainable form of travel that can also have positive environmental, cultural, and economic effects, not to mention just enjoying the stars !

The Port Orford Library has a book called "Let There Be Night", and the city of Port Orford has an updated Outdoor Lighting Code and Ordinance that is intended to conserve and protect our night sky.

Now, you just have to remember to write 2025 instead of 2024, stay dry, ignore the wind, save money, and watch for wood snakes !
