Sites that were without power for 2012 are now being restored! |
Water damage to junction boxes rendered them useless. |
After a number of months of delay, additional funds from the
Federal Flood Recovery effort became available to allow repairs to electrical
junction boxes that were knocked out after extensive flooding inundated the River Run
Park area over a period
of four years. Included in the ongoing repairs will be new awnings over some of the RV sites
along with new electrical junction boxes for as many as sixteen sites that had
been without power since last season.
Owner Don Freeland working on site! |
I had a chance to talk briefly with the owner of the company that was doing electrical portion of the repair. His name was Don
Freeland and his company 'Freeland Electric' operates out of Mountain Home Arkansas.
Mr. Freeland informed me that the work was moving along quickly as he and his working
staff were putting in long ten hour days in order to restore the campsites to full
operational status as soon as possible.
Well, it looks like River
Run Park
will be back up 100% before the end of the season and just in time for the fall RV
crowd to come down and take advantage of the great fishing found in this part
of the Bull Shoals waterway near Forsyth Missouri!
Update: As of early September, it now looks as though electrical power has been restored to all the campsites (call them to make sure). There are also a few awning that are being replaced at this time. Other than that, the Park looks good to go!
