Roseland Resort Update

[bjarvis]

Roseland Resort is the gay campground where we keep our trailer and spend much time lounging during the spring, summer & fall.

At the end of last season, we were intrigued by a large excavation just below the swimming pool deck and cottages:


In a monthly e-mail update from Roseland management, we've learned what this is all about:
The announcement you have all been waiting for. The big dig is......
An in-ground, heated pool complex with a southwestern theme. There will be two decks as part of this complex. The Upper Santa Fe deck with snack bar and the lower Santa Fe deck that will surround the pool. The pool will be heated by solar and gas. That's all of the details I am giving at this point. This is the largest expansion project since we built the Rec Hall. The Cabana Deck will remain an activity area with parties, Cafe, sunning.

This is intriguing. I'm not much for swimming, especially since the pool area is very popular (read crowded) and the sun is still trying to kill me with ultraviolet radiation of the nastiest kind. Still, if this and the additional cabins & camping spaces make the campground more popular, it's a good thing overall.

BTW, the trailer next door to ours is apparently for sale. Check out Rose Hill site #256 (the second entry on the list)... In the left edge of the first photo of that trailer, you'll see ours winterized & wrapped in a tarp like an oversized sugar cube.

Camping season opens April 11... I can't wait!

wow..that place looks so cool
I'd love to go there some time.

Such could be arranged. Depending on whether our co-trailer trash are also there, we might have space in our trailer; failing that, there are cabins & cottages for rent scattered around the resort.

Carpooling is encouraged: the place is more easily located via satellite & GPS coordinates than by directions & roads. I hope the new resort construction includes a few extra parking spots too.

it's a good thing I don't live there - I'd buy that trailer spot in 30 secs.

we could timeshare!

[bjarvis.livejournal.com]

We bought the trailer jointly with another couple --jearbear65oh & David. There's a precedent!

We refer to ourselves as timeshare trailer trash.

You could buy it without actually living here... you just wouldn't get much opportunity to use it. :-)

Katey would go bonkers... so much to sniff, so many men to adore her, several other dogs to play with...

Hell - I'd have so much to sniff - so many men to adore me - and several other dogs to play with. LOL!

I love camping!

being your neighbor is fraut with good writing ideas though.

"Abner! Abner! those three bears next door are rockin' the trailer again! Abner!"

You'll need to come for thorough research. Bring your camera.

Ok - I'm envious - Our camping season doesn't start until mid May at the earliest, and I'm so missing lounging by the pool watching naked men go by.

it's beautiful (yes, i explored the site). i just wish it weren't so far from lovely cambridge-sûr-charles!

You'll just have to come for an extended stay to make it worth the travel time. I like to tell my office co-workers that my pager doesn't work at the campground; better yet, no one would ever think to look for me there.

it almost makes me wish i lived closer. that would be the perfect "i vant to get away" little camper thingy.!!!

Hey! Give us back our southwest!

A Southwest theme?

That's really, um...words fail.
