Hidden Beauty

Changes are happening at Wilderness Oaks RV Resort. Some visible and some not so visible, but they are happening. For example, changing the wiring in outlet boxes to upgrade from 30 to 50 amps is not so visible, and replacing underground water pumps is not so visible. The big new yellow park sign at the entrance from 35 is very visible, especially in the evenings when it is lit up. You can see it from a half mile away.

However, on the subtle side of obvious change, to me, is the palm tree at the SW corner of the intersection of Main and Third right behind Joyce’s house. Well, maybe it was obvious to me since I was watching the work in progress. The grounds worker was stripping debris from the sides and when he was finished the tree was beautiful. The trunk, from the base up to the palms, looked like it had been coated with a fresh application of stain. The difference in the trees can be seen in the before and after pictures.

I checked with park management and was told that cleaning up the palms throughout the park is one of the projects on their “to-do-list.” There are several of these palms along the entrance from HWY 35 as you enter the park. Can you just image how beautiful it will look when all the palms are cleaned up.

If you haven’t noticed, take a look next time you are taking a stroll in the park down Main Street and visualize the hidden beauty waiting to be revealed for all of us to enjoy.
