No more wooded walk unfortunately, unless you count the few tall cedars left hugging the pathway. I'm sure they'll eventually connect it all to the new FITH.

Too bad.  That had quickly became one of our favorite spots during the Craft festival at night.

I sure hope not.  This is the first season since being SP holders (2006) that we will be there for the 5 festivals required to get one.  HA

And the tram  situation was embarrassing. We waited over 15 minutes for one to take us to the park around noon. We walked back to our car at stop 2 around 8:45. Probably took us closer to 10 minutes because of the amount of people walking and my daughter loosing a sock. In that time, we never saw a tram or bus pass by us to go to stop 2 or 3. They were loading busses and trams when we headed down our vehicle but they never delivered any passengers. Took 5ish minutes to get settled in the car and pull off. Still no one had arrived via transportation. I hope they fix things before Christmas because it will be an absolute nightmare if they don’t improve it.

We saw the same thing on our last visit in August.  We got in line for a tram and waited over 20-30 mins before ever seeing one come down to stop 3.  We saw 1 or 2 hit Stop 2 during our wait.  I am not sure if they are planning it this way, or if they don't have workers, but for their 2 biggest festivals, hopefully they figure it out

Would be cool if they offered them as webcams so you could watch online.

I mentioned having webcams to Brad Thomas once and he looked at me like I had 3 heads!   I told him that I would imagine a lot of people would like to know what crows situation was before going for the day, or just like to watch.  He seemed a little more receptive after I explained, but didn't get the sense that he had the same feelings.

Watch roller coaster trains in a load station ? Uhh , kind of like watching paint dry to me. I do not believe the cost would be worth the few who would view this.

My thought was to have one in the square.

Found this sign at a Flea Market off of 165 last week.  The owner of the Flea Market said he wasn't selling but a funny story about it is he did sell it a while back and the guy who purchased it realized he had no way to move it and told the owner he guessed he just donated money to him.  The Flea Market owner said he is going to open a sign museum and will include that sign in it.

More parking lot progress.

The spaces are now angled and lanes are one way. Only a portion of the paid lot has lines painted so far.

Glad to see this!  As tight as that parking lot was, it was a nightmare with a larger vehicle getting in and out of those spots, sometimes.

Thanks for the pics/update.

Maybe this was mentioned somewhere, but I didn't see it.  With the food truck area now open is the "foggy hollow" path open from the food trucks to Boatworks Theater?

I swear that theme can already be found on cans in Crossroads

Close, but not sure they are exact.  I thought the same thing.

Looking at all that smoke from trees burning, has me thinking that somewhere Mary Herschend is rolling in her grave!

Definitely looks like they are getting serious about the parking though.
