A little bit of color grading for a good friend of mine.
PS: I didn't take the photo, I just did the color grading
The managers parking spot needed some attention. You saw the finished picture earlier and thought I just backed in and set up camp didn't you? Bringing in gravel and using the tractor the spot was graded and leveled. One side was off almost 2 feet.
So how hard could it be to run a campground? It fell in our laps so we decided to give it a try! I will put up a series of photos of our campground life.

"Bedford is the county town of Bedfordshire, England. At the 2011 Census, the population of the Bedford built-up area was 106,940, while that within its traditional boundary was 87,590. At the same census, the Borough of Bedford had a population of 157,479.
Bedford was founded at a ford on the River Great Ouse, and is thought to have been the burial place of Offa of Mercia. Bedford Castle was built by Henry I, although it was destroyed in 1224. Bedford was granted borough status in 1165 and has been represented in Parliament since 1265. It is known for its large population of Italian descent.
Bedford is on the Midland Main Line, with stopping services to London and Brighton operated by Thameslink, and express services to London and the East Midlands operated by East Midlands Railway.
Bedford's principal church is St Paul's, in the square of the same name at the historic centre of the town. It is the Civic Church of the Borough of Bedford and County of Bedfordshire and has a tall, iconic spire which is one of the dominant features of the town. There was an early Minster church on the site by 1066 and work on the present structure began in the early 13th century, but little remains from that period. John Bunyan and John Wesley both preached in the church. In 1865–1868 the tower and spire were completely rebuilt and the two transepts added and lesser alterations have been made since. From 1941 to the end of the Second World War the BBC's daily service was broadcast from St. Paul's. Another notable local church is St Peter's, on St Peter's Street, which contains some of the oldest architectural remains in Bedford, the most ancient being the two monoliths. St. Paul's Church also hosts the town's Visitor Information Centre." - info from Wikipedia.

"Northampton is a minster and market town in the East Midlands of England. It is also the county town of wider county of Northamptonshire. Northampton lies on the River Nene, 60 miles (97 km) north-west of London and 45 miles (72 km) south-east of Birmingham. One of the largest towns in England, it had a population of 212,100 at the 2011 census (223,000 est. 2019).
Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates to the Bronze Age, Romans and Anglo-Saxons. In the Middle Ages, the town rose to national significance with the establishment of Northampton Castle, an occasional royal residence which regularly hosted the Parliament of England. Medieval Northampton had many churches, monasteries and the University of Northampton, all enclosed by the town walls. It was granted a town charter by Richard I in 1189 and a mayor was appointed by King John in 1215. The town was also the site of two medieval battles, in 1264 and 1460.
Northampton supported the Parliamentary Roundheads in the English Civil War, and Charles II ordered the destruction of the town walls and most of the castle. The Great Fire of Northampton in 1675 destroyed much of the town. It was soon rebuilt and grew rapidly with the industrial development of the 18th century. Northampton continued to grow with the arrival of the Grand Union Canal and the railways in the 19th century, becoming a centre for footwear and leather manufacture.
Northampton's growth was limited until it was designated as a New Town in 1968, accelerating development in the town. It unsuccessfully applied for city status in 2000." - info from Wikipedia.

Still tackling the steep 2.8% average "Camelback Grade" westbound into Canton, North Carolina, Blue Ridge Southern's 4 pack of EMD's thunder up the former Southern Railway Murphy Branch.
Following on from the Test Train image at Hellifield, here is a view looking south from the platforms at the northern end of the Station. The weeds have taken grip, and despite Network Rail spending half a million on the Grade II listed station building in 2013, obviously the budget didn't extend to the platform curtilage.

On a spring afternoon with the trees still budding out, a SD70ACC drags 378 by the signals at Trammells. At the top of a decent grade for eastern Alabama that peaks at 1.25%, in steam days the Central of Georgia often kept a pusher stationed in Sylacauga to help shove heavy eastbounds up the hill to here. This is also the spot where going east traffic control changes and is handled by track warrants with automatic block signals the rest of the way to Columbus. Going west to Leeds is CTC installed to handle the deluge of World War Two traffic, not only from through freights but also to the large ammunition plant that was located at Childersburg.
And yes, that signal on the right is actually leaning like that. Don't use it as a guide for making a level shot!
The Saluda Grade is the steepest standard-gauge mainline railway in the USA and opened in July 1878. The three mile railway grade ranged from 3.7%- 4.7%.
The railway line was constructed to connect Spartanburg, South Carolina, Asheville and North Carolina through the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has been out of service since 2001.
Since 2001 the vibrant green vegetation around the railway has started to rapidly grow over the tracks and in some sections completely engulfed the railway. Beneath some of the railway it has been heavily eroded, which has caused many railway ties to become detached from the railway lines.
