A 12x12 Deck and 12x12 Base!
 

We found this nice flat spot halfway up huckleberry hill

Placed some rocks around the edges

Built a picnic table and a fire circle

Put in a faucet
 

Installed a second reservoir for the spring water system.
The spot appeared high enough to be about the same height as the fountain of youth spring.

This is a classic 12x12 deck with 5/4 cedar decking

Applying an oil-based preservative, hope it helps!

Ready for the next step
