@Love Ft Wilderness,
I went over to the Meadow field this morning and only found two stakes still standing but found the holes in the ground where the others had been.
This one was between the frisbee golf target and the tennis courts.
This one was by a tree near the sidewalk behind the pool slide fence.
Those were the only stakes standing but as I said, I found evidence of others in your photos. I took two pictures as examples. This first one was the location up by the volleyball net post. See the circular muddy spot in the ground?
Same for this one also out near the frisbee golf target.
I'm afraid to tell you what I'm about to tell you.
I think I saw those kind of stakes down around River Country, the Settlement Trading Post, and Pioneer Hall (HDDR & TE) before the construction started for the now paused DVC project on old River Country.
They take soil core samples to determine the make of the ground for many feet below ground level to know how much support/footings/pilings are going to be needed to support the planned buildings above ground for that location. I guess two more samples are needed. They literally push/twist a hollow tube straight down deeper and deeper which fills with dirt, sand, clay, peat, etc. which they then pull out to analyze to find the strength of the ground.
Sadly, it appears to me that some construction is planned for that area.
Darn it.
