The trash compactor by the restaurant has been working since power was restored. Please do not leave bags of trash or other large items in the Craft Center parking lot as events and activities are held in this area. Thank you and have a great day!

Ahhhhh sunshine and beautiful skies! It is wonderful to see residents out and about enjoying the weather and attending resort events!

As recent changes in county orders have gone into effect and occupancy limits in the public spaces has increased, please remember that social distancing protocols are still in place. Don’t forget to wear your mask when inside the resort buildings and maintain social distancing protocols. The mailroom lobby is a particularly important area, as there is very little space to adequately maintain social distance. The same rules apply at our events, so please, consider your friends and neighbors safety and mask up.

Have a great evening and enjoy the beautiful weather!

Due to the most recent update to County orders, we will be increasing the occupancy limits in our buildings. You will see new occupancy limit signage being posted over the course of the day. All other Social Distance protocols, like wearing your mask, remain in place.

Thank you while we all work together to get through these difficult times.

For those who may have utilized the Craft Center, White House or Activity building for temporary relief from the cold, please remember to remove your personal items such as air mattresses, food and dishes, etc so that we may be able to get back to normal operations and nobody loses their things.

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

The power outage in the Resort has been reported to management and AEP has been contacted. They are currently working to assess the problem and restore power. Hang in there, folks!

Please be advised, there will be no mail service on Saturday Feb 20th. Thank you for your patience.

One more night of cold.

As the sun goes down for the evening, please be advised that we have one more night with a possible freeze warning. While many, many sites came back up last night and throughout the day, there may still be some homes or Rv sites without power scattered throughout the park. Also please note that many of the power supplies and equipment that sends cable and internet signal throughout the park may not be on the same power circuit as your home or RV, so it is possible for you to have power in your home but still not have cable or internet. We expect these services to come back little by little over the course of the next few days.

The Craft Center will still be open tonight for temporary relief from the weather. Please remember to follow all social distancing and face mask requirements while in the buildings.

Thank you, have a great evening and STAY WARM! 🙂

RECOVERY.

As the sun shines bright this morning, we are in the midst of recovery. Many, many sites came back up last night, but there may still be some without power scattered throughout the park. Services like Cable and Internet are also coming back little by little. Many of the power supplies and equipment that sends cable and internet signal throughout the park may not be on the same power circuit as your home or RV, so it is possible for you to have power in your home but still not have cable or internet. We will continue to work towards restoring these services as the last bits of power are restored in the resort today and through the weekend.

On a brighter note, the restaurant is open and serving until 1pm. Phone and network service is restored in the Main Office and staff are available to take your questions and concerns. The buildings are still open today for temporary relief from the weather and an update will be provided later in the day as to which will remain open tonight (if necessary). Please remember to follow all social distancing and face mask requirements while in the buildings.

Thank you and have a great day!

Over the course of the day we have seen that AEP has returned a few more of our circuits to service. And while we are very excited that more of our residents have power, we must still caution everyone about the deep freeze warning that is in effect for tonight. Please consider taking the following precautions to avoid water line breaks that may affect your site or the resort in general:

Unhook hoses from outdoor spigots and/or wrap the spigots with a towel or blanket to help insulate them. Keep water running at a very slight drip, about the size of a pencil tip, to avoid pipes freezing up. If you have heat in your home or rig, open cabinets under sinks and faucets so that your pipes can receive some of that warm air circulation.

We know that there are many experienced RV’ers here, so please spread any additional knowledge you may have with your neighbors to help them avoid a freeze.

In addition to this information we will continue to extend an invitation to all those who remain without power to seek temporary relief in the Craft Center, Activity Building and White House (to cook a hot meal)

The restaurant is still available for free hot coffee until 8pm and the RV showers have hot water and are available 24 hours.

Stay Warm and Stay Safe!

The cold continues! Please stay warm and indoors whenever possible. Here are a few updates for today:

Hot showers are available 24/7 at the RV bathrooms located at the intersection of York, Sheffield and VP Boulevard.

The activity building is open for temporary relief from the cold and the fireplace is roaring! Don’t forget to stop by the library and check out a book or three.

Free hot coffee is available in the restaurant from 8am to 8pm today, or until supplies last. Feel free to charge your cell phones there and a microwave will be available for use.

Cable and Internet is still down in the park, and the offices phones and computers are affected as well. Please contact the gate staff at 956-532-5832 for any maintenance or emergency issues.

The White House will be running on a generator, so the kitchen will be available for use today. Please help us extend the life of the generator and turn off all lights and heat when you leave.

Stay safe and stay warm! We will get through this!

The Activity building will be open tonight for those who need temporary relief from the cold weather. Please abide by the following rules to ensure everyone has as good experience as possible, considering our current circumstances…

Please follow all social distance and face mask protocols while in the building.

While we do not normally allow pets in the building, we are temporarily allowing this considering the circumstances. Please only bring your pet if it is leashed or crated and all pets MUST be walked outside of the building.

If you currently have power in your home or site, please consider enjoying it there and allowing others to use the building.

Please be considerate of others and leave the area clean for others to use.

As an additional reminder, the RV showers are now open 24/7 and hot water is available.

We have arranged for a food truck to stop in the park and serve hot pizzas free of charge to residents today at 5pm in the 5000 section. Please be advised of the following:

Supplies are limited; there is only so much pizza dough and sauce that they can carry in their truck. You will have a choice of a cheese or pepperoni pizza. There is a limit of one per household while supplies last.

If you have power and/or the ability to cook at home or on your site, please consider doing so and allow those who do not have power to get a pizza.

Enjoy!

AEP power seems to be rotating their power distribution and many sites and buildings that were previously with power are no longer. Please bare with us as this may continue to happen while the State and Regulatory companies continue their work. We will adapt to these challenge we as they come

Cable and internet systems remain unavailable, as the providers circuits and local equipment remains without power.

Hot showers are now available in the RV bathrooms located at the intersection of York, Sheffield and VP Blvd. Please keep in mind that the more people who use it the longer it wilL take for the hot water tanks to refill.

Due to continued power outage, resort offices will remain closed on Weds, Feb 17th. As residents and staff alike are dealing with power and water outages at their homes and RV’s, we will continue to provide the Craft Center and White House for residents who need temporary relief from the winter weather or to cook themselves a hot meal. Please see previous posts for further details.

Please continue to report emergency situations to the gate staff at 956-532-5832.

Thank you for your patience while we work through these difficult circumstances.

As there is no electricity at the moment, the trash compactor by the restaurant is not operational and now we risk an overflow of trash. We ask that you please refrain from using it and instead take your trash to the blue containers located adjacent to the Craft Center inside the fenced area. The maintenance staff has unlocked the access gate to facilitate entry. The recycling bins are also open and available, so please consider recycling as well.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate through these difficult circumstances.

AEP electrical provider has announced on various social media outlets that these power outages can extend into Wednesday. Please take precautions to stay safe and warm. As announced previously, the Craft Center and White House are available for temporary relief or to cook a hot meal during this time. Please see previous announcements for further details.

Thank you and stay safe and warm.

Assuming we don’t lose power in the remaining portion of the resort, the Craft Center will remain open through the night for those who need temporary relief from the cold weather.

The White House building, located at the corner of Donna and Plymouth, will also be open through the night for anyone who would like to cook themselves a hot meal, as it has a kitchen with stove and refrigerator. Please provide your own cooking supplies and, out of courtesy to others, leave the area clean for the next person to use. Please also note that the heater control knob is located on the wall next to the restroom, and operates in 1 hour increments.

Please stay safe and warm as we all get through this together.
