Is it weird that I'm excited to see the parking lot paved?

[RollerBee]

No I am excited too! Is that shingles I see being put on the roof of the main gate?

some kind of roof tiles. but other than that and the asphalt crew, man it looks like work has grinded to a halt. So much left to be done.

The parking lot looks great!

Sorry for double posting, but does anyone know what they're going to do with that big pile of dirt?

[LocalYokel]

The dirt piles next to the toll plaza have been getting smaller. I don't know where it's been going to.

[RollerBee]

They filled in the retaining pond behind the parking lot based on the webcam.

Will the gift shop exterior (facing the park) be finished, or will it just be left how it is?

[gabed]

Have they planted grass over in that one area??? I sure hope so!

It's finished. Looks like they went with boards instead of rock/stone in this area for soem reason.

Everywhere you see hay is where they've planted grass. I hope it comes in before media day, but I don't think it will.
