I took a walk through the Horse Park today to take a look at the latest progress/work being done in anticipation of WEG.

As I may have mentioned before, there’s always something new or different around here lately … roads closed and then re-opened (while different ones are closed), walkways disappearing and reappearing in slightly new configurations, parking spaces disappearing and new ones reappearing elsewhere, etc.

For the moment, I’ve noticed new curbs along several of the roadways, roadways being dug up and new drains being installed in front of the barns on Jay Trump (the end of our road), and new culverts being installed by the main road (Nina Bonnie Rd). What appear to be the bases for streetlights have appeared beside Nina Bonnie, across from the outdoor arena and the media center. And every time a car or truck or tractor or golf cart or whatever else drives down Jay Trump or Nina Bonnie, huge clouds of dust billow into the air.

And, for those of you who’ve been to any of the past three Lexington CDEs, two of the marathon obstacles have been taken down in preparation for the imminent start of work on the WEG marathon course. The “Wishing Well” (obs. number 1) and the one in the woods whose name I forget (obs. number 3) are now gone.

We’re all looking forward to watching the Horse Park’s improvements and the WEG marathon course take shape. And I’m hoping that, once everything’s done, the dust will die down!
