Ken- You need to take a boat ride. The Shoe Tree has plenty of shoes on it. It got re-shoed. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judy in Texas 150 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I have acorns that take root in the yard. I can put the push mower on top of an acorn sprout so the tree grows up through the blades. That might be faster than leaning it against a tree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Maybe Disney can but the old show F Troop then the Fort could have Wrangler Jane for it's princess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to the old sign, Billy Bowlegs picked a warm and sunny day and a real fast grower. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 According to the old sign, Billy Bowlegs picked a warm and sunny day and a real fast grower. TCD That is true. I wonder where that sign is today? Could you imagine the nice little display they could set up with the old sign and mower parts? Maybe even add in some RC memorabilia, an old RR crossing sign and stuff like that? It would look real nice in the lobby of the Fort DVC if they ever build it. They could charge us common folk admission to see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MetalDad 33 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I always thought that the Fort would have been a prime candidate for a Toy Story/Woody's Roundup makeover with Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, and Stinky Pete the Prospector. If it was based on Woody's Roundup, you wouldn't have to bring in the whole Toy Story cast, just the crew from Woody's old show. Maybe Jessie's not sexy enough to put out there as a princess. Or, perhaps they're just biding their time before they bulldoze the whole thing and put up another lakeside Deluxe resort. It's not like them to have that type of real estate that nets say $100 or so per night per site, when in the same spot could be a stack of rooms that brings in $300 per room x 5 stories. We could math ourselves right out of a campground! They keep taking stuff away and putting nothing back, makes you wonder what the Fort will look like a decade from now!

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Eww, where is that? I took that picture with my new Kodak Timewarp XL.....it is Fort Wilderness circa 2025, after the collapse of the New Fiend Order brings about a period of lawlessness and despair.
