Today was the day we’ve been waiting for. We’ve been working on designing and sculpting the many features of the Secret Garden Golf at Castle Fun Park for almost a year. As each large feature was completed it was gently moved from the shop and out into our parking lot. They became a fixture and part of the landscape, a familiar, welcoming friend we visited each day as we walked out to the shop at the back of our property. Today, starting near the road, we hooked each piece and gingerly lifted them onto the semi-trailer. We loaded three features on each load, tied them down securely, and headed fourteen miles down the road. When we got to the large parking lot at the park we would transfer a single piece to the crane truck and then slowly drive to the site and unload once again. The big semi truck and trailer simply wouldn’t fit into the tight workspace. After transferring each load we’d head back to the shop for the next bunch. In eight hours we managed three trips and moved half of the completed features. Tomorrow the task begins anew.
