and that puts the road about right here... too close for comfort!!

that sucks. surely they will tell you if they widen the road right into your front door.

well, if you mean the wooden stake with orange tape on it in the front door ? or the ones up on the hill side. nobody is saying a word . but i'm guessing we will soon find out. the ulitiy lines are all being moved and they are chewing up the hill side up the road . won't be long.

Was this a force out by eminent domain?

[bobber]

nope. we had heard rumours of a visitor center going in at Pruitt and the replacement of the Pruitt bridge. but last year a truck hit our bridge at mill creek.then all that sewage problems then the river dropped out . we shut down mid June and some time after that the stakes showed up. i was over there in December and noticed lots of electric line poles along the road side. right after the first of the year bulldozers showed up clearing out a wide path. i paddle with an engineer from the highway dept. he said it was a go for the widening of hwy 7. and the new Pruitt bridge was on hold because they wanted to move the whole hwy about a half mile over so it lines up with the hill side to make a straight shot a lining up with the existing hwy up on top of the mountain. by Ozark campground turn off. late December this land came up for sale at kyles and was snatched up by us .because of this hwy move . so yes we new it was coming. but we thought it would be years not days. so as of right now we are just waiting to see if we can open for spring in 40 days or else we need to work double time to open a new location,and that was not in the budget. soooo the plan was to create a new building with a camp ground and HOT showers. right on that corner of the hwy and kyles road. we started to clean it up and make it a campground for this year but that's on hold at the moment
