MX Trip # 19 The Wall Came down ( Tuesday )

Our RV Park borders another RV Park that has been abandon for many years, however there is a 12 foot brick wall the entire length of our Park. Our park owner built 1/2 of the wall but the other 1/2 was built by the other park owner. This wall was constructed before we ever came here in 2003 so it has been here long time. 

Recently, some investors purchased the abandon  property , probably to built condos or a hotel because it is prime property and of course beach front. Over the years it has been a dumping ground for everybody's junk so now they are removing the garbage and tearing down the other 1/2 of the wall. Unfortunately our owner was not given any warning. About 8 years ago our owner removed several camp sites and built a 3 story, 30 unit holiday suites  ( more money in suites ) and he had to revamp the utilities and in doing so he install the power on and along the entire wall. Also several of theses 200,000.00 MH are back up within a foot of the wall. And without notice a backhoe started to remove the wall with pieces falling precariously close to the MH so needless to say panic set in.

 The MH owners had to quickly disconnect their utilities and move their MH forward about 10 ft and some even had to protect there rig with a tarp. Because the power was install on the wall the power had to be shut off to most of the camp ( including yours truly ) for most of the day. The power was back on by 5 PM so I assume they run some temporary power to those who lost it. This did cause some panic for most of the day. 

Several campers are going home for Christmas; some to be with family and other to restart their insurance. One lady flew out today but her husband was still here so I ask why so, and he says the dog could not endure a flight so he is staying to mind it. And they would probably say that the dog does not run their life. Cheers
