04. Moving our cottage from the old campground
My wife and I had purchased a small but comfy twenty-year-old cottage at Crocus Grove Sun Club in late 2000. It consisted of a kitchen/dining building with an attached tent trailer under a roof extension. With the kind help of a uniquely skilled member and a handful of others, we moved our modest little cottage and outbuildings from the old campground in November 2010. Snow arrived just a few days later. We would be putting everything back together again first thing next spring.We were the first members to
officially occupy one of the new park's twenty seasonal lots. I've
included
"before" and "after" pictures showing what the cottage looked like on
the
ground with the deck in place at both locations. The last image is from
Google
Maps. It shows where our seasonal lot was located within the park (you
can see our red truck in its usual spot beside the cottage).
These photographs from my personal collection were taken in the summer of 2008, in November 2010 and in the summer of 2011. Please contact me if you'd like to learn more about them. Minimum screen width of 1000px required.
