A little paving…
Posted by phil
So we have had a few roads around camp that needed constant attention. Marty (sometimes mistaken for Jack Bauer) would be on his tractor weekly scraping the roads and keeping everything smooth. But never the less, there would be some rough spots. I recall hitting my head on the roof of a camp truck a few times b/c the roads were so bumpy, and at least one of those times Ron was driving…
In an effort to prevent major problems in the future, we have paved a strip of road leading up the hill towards TBI and the old infirmary…just up that first hill. We also paved the driveway and parking area around the Chapel. These minor additions look great and should make it a little easier to get around camp!
This ws just a short strip to the top of the hill…the main problem area. The rest if still gravel and works fine!

I really hope that everyone understands how much this will improve the quality of camp. Those roads were horrific to get up in a vehicle. Can we see some of the paving on Arap hill road?
Caleb, you’re going to love the drive up to the Chapel and to TBI. This will save wear and tear on the camp vehicles, personal vehicles, and i won’t hit my head on the roof of my car! It also blends well, better than I thought actually. Yes, a very smart investment. I’ll see what i can do about adding a picture from the paving to Arap Hill…
This pavement looks great! And you guys are right — that hill was crazy ridiculous to drive up, especially in a minivan.
At this point I was going to make a sarcastic comment about also needing to pave over the Middle Green to accomodate parental SUVs on closing days, but I’ve decided against it. (Alright, so maybe I didn’t decide against it…)
