Thanks, that makes sense.  8)

Wow, you've been busy! Lots of great additions but the Elasmosaurus is the stand out for me. Just gorgeous. I need to make it back there some day.

For anyone considering visiting Backyard Terrors, it's well worth the trip. To sweeten the pot a little, northeast Tennessee is a beautiful region, with the Unaka and Iron Mountains, including some of the highest peaks in eastern North America, on one side; the rugged Cumberland Mountains on the other; and the more settled Ridge and Valley in between. Lots of great scenic drives and hiking, paddling, caving, and historical sites in the area.

I try to plan ahead and keep at it.  I recently ran out of material and I'm not sure when I'll get more.  The company near me that produces it, the one I get error rolls donated from hasn't produced the kind I need in over 6 months. So I'm having to turn to other artists to make the dinos while I focus on the business side of things and park upkeep.  It's a lot.  There is quite a bit to focus on in our region, the Gray Fossil Site is about 30 minutes away and we aren't far from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg either.

All good now?


I presumed the raptor in a box you mentioned near the T. rex and Indominus heads is a JP style raptor.


If you're happy I'll upload the pdfs to your website. :)

It is a JP style..of sorts. lol

I'll have a look in a few once I'm on the road and check everything.

I forgot to change Dino Park in the Dark to July this year. Had folks show up last night for it..sigh.

What we could do next, if you're up for it, is update the dinosaurs section of your website so every species is featured. c):)

It would only have to be the dinosaur name (title) and a picture, which would be simple to do, but fantastic to show off your whole menagerie. At the moment only six big name dinos are featured on your website, but at a glance it seems like that's everything in the park, when it's just the tip of the iceberg.

If you have info panels on file for the dinos in the park, you could also reuse that text.

It looks good to me. Just reviewed it. :) thank you 😊

Yes I'd like to do that. I'd like to setup some video clips too. Maybe add sound?  I've thought it would be cool to do and add QR codes to the signs for them to scan that would take them to page for each.

Yes, QR codes are easy to set up once the pages exist. I'd stick to pages with images in the first instance, just because it is more manageable, then add videos to the pages later.

Let's email about it . :)

Finally had a couple days with no events, no kids, nothing going on but me able to focus on the park. The last three weeks was supposed to have been a vacation but seemed more like check lists and work lol

I'm late setting up Dino Park in the Dark, it's HOT here and humid plus all the rain just hasn't helped. I came back to so much needing done. The weather turned the park into a greenhouse. I also have to finish the site for the new picnic area near the playground.

I did get some final shots of the Land Before Time characters I'm adding to the park. Just have to get them paid for now.

I think being out of material is weighing on me a bit so I'm being creative on some other projects. Beside that it feels like a rainforest outside right now.
