[QUOTE="Trailabite, post: 739988, member: 3498"] There's several reasons, but it really just boils down to the need of cash up front. The previous owner not wanting to have anything to do with the park after her husband died, did not keep up with any maintenance. All of the buildings need some work. The road leading to the upper section needs work ( a lot of pot holes and drainage issues). Apparently, during the last Dixie run some of the pipes running down along side that road became exposed and someone drove over them breaking a water line, which caused a huge washout. Most of the wooden decks and or walkways around the buildings are starting to fall. With the up front maintenance, the required ongoing maintenance and having to purchase the land itself doesn't leave very much room for profit as a business. When I put everything on paper it would take almost 20 years just to break even and that may be an exaggeration as GMP has not made a profit in the past 11 to 12 years operating as a park and that's with the owners owning the property lol.
