2008 Lot Rent = $770 per year. This includes 12 nights use per month during the on-season = April through October (7 months). These nights cannot be 'rolled over' or saved. Please minimally make $110 monthly payments by the beginning of each month April thru October.

Second lot for parking only (no electric) = $455 per yearly season ($65 per month April thru October).

{optional} Lot maintenance $35 per year ($5 per month April thru October). This will maintain your lot to a ‘street’ level to look decent from the street or neighboring lots.

Excess appliances (e.g. second refrig/freezer, second A/C unit, electric clothes dryer)=$10/month when in use.

Overnight guests--for guests staying with you on your lot that are not members of your household the charge is $2 per person per night. No charge for grandchildren under the age of 16 (even if they do not live in your household). You may not sub-let your lot to others. If you choose to allow someone to use your lot (or your second/parking lot) they will be charged the regular nightly rate (just as if they had stayed on a nightly campsite).

Day visitors who ride need to check in at the office and get bridle tags and pay day use fee.

Off-Season Storage --RV storage included with yearly rent for the off-season (November through March) if unplugged. Option to leave on electric power (for refrigerator only) = $20 per month from November through March.

Occupancy Fee = $12 per night if you occupy your lot more than 12 nights per month. This is to account for additional electricity, water, & septic use.

Off-Season Use--For use of your lot in the off-season (November through March), the fee is $12 nightly. Water to the lots will be turned off at the end of the season [when the weather gets cold] and will be back on at the start of the season. [weather-dependent] Frost-free hydrants and bathroom/shower will remain on.

Hunters -- special circumstances apply to hunters for use in the off-season. Contact owners for details.

Site Maintenance -- Please keep your lot looking nice. Renters are responsible for maintenance including grass control, repairing horse pens, and keeping horse pens free of excess manure. Must have owner's permission before cutting any trees. If your lot gets overgrown, then we will mow it and bill you $15 per mowing.

Site Improvements -- If your lot has horse pens when you rented it, then plan to leave the lot with at least the same number of useable pens (no broken posts, etc) if you stop renting it. If you would like to install permanent structures such as covered horse pens, concrete pad, etc. please OK with owners first (we pay property taxes on all attached structures). If you vacate your lot the structure you have installed stays with the lot and you may not remove it. Portable structures (e.g. portable storage building, deck w/o footings) are yours.

Please contact owners if you would like a quote for lot or RV improvements. We can do winterization, exterior painting, build deck/steps, build covered horse pens, lay paving blocks, apply gravel to site or to horse pens, routine lot maintenance/mowing, etc. updated 1/08

Hayes Canyon Properties Policies and Guidelines:

*Quiet hours 10pm-6am. This is strictly enforced.

*Dogs permitted, owners responsible, please be considerate of your neighbors and control dog waste & noise.

*Do not tie your horse to utilities or trees. Do NOT allow your horse to chew on or damage any trees! Even small amounts of damage accumulate and a dead mature tree takes about 30 years to replace. Trees provide the shade that your children and grandchildren will enjoy.

*We are on city water - please conserve! No washing vehicles/trailers please.

*Please turn your A/C off when you are away (unless you have a pet left inside).

* Put trash in dumpsters. Food or trash left out is an invitation for wildlife, which may be harmed by eating plastic, etc. Also, we would rather not have visitors such as bees, raccoons, skunks, etc.

* We collect aluminum cans for the local animal shelter, please place in marked barrels near dumpsters.

*Hayes Canyon is not responsible for accidents, injury, lost or stolen property. Common sense is the best prevention to injury!

*Pack out what you pack into the forest. Keep the Shawnee beautiful for generations to come.

*Please preserve the trails by staying on designated trails and by avoiding trail 'braiding' or switch-backs. Cross-tie your horse between trees when stopping on the trail, or use high-lines at designated locations.

*Lusk Creek Wilderness, Bay Creek Wilderness, and Garden-of-the-Gods Wilderness trails only [note these area on your map]. These trails are open seasonally from April 1st to November 30th. Group size in wilderness areas is limited to 10 persons. These trails may be temporarily posted as closed after periods of heavy rain.

*Most importantly -- stay safe and have fun !!
