Friday 9.13.2024

We welcomed our Guests who arrived last evening

Campers set up and the campfire was going just as the sun set. 

What a beautiful site to see that campfire glow as the day turns to night. 

I love my job of stacking firewood! Makes it easy with the Bobcat!!

Our Guests have been enjoying some nice day’s of fishing. Vicki out fished the boys with 2 catch and released of 21inch walleyes yesterday 9.12.24.  Way to go Vicki!! Windy today so they headed for the river.  We had a wonderful time with John, Clint, and Paul this week, sad to see them go – but boy did these guys have a blast fishing!  We were surprised with a meal of cooked battered fish for lunch on Tuesday- what a treat! Thank you, guys!!

John – Clint – and Paul enjoying CS#5. 3 buddies enjoying camping-fishing-relaxing. Saddened that one of their good friends passed away leaving a hole in the trip but will always remember their times together. Making the best of each day. Sorry for your loss guys!

We enjoyed a quality time at the beach bar with our Guests, we try to make it for the sunset every night. 

Tomorrow is our Saturday Treat Day at the Beach Bar- We haven’t picked a time as of yet, but we have been picking 6 p.m. after everyone is in from a day of fishing.

 

Our Guests Pat and Karla who headed home yesterday left us a wonderful bag of apples from their apple tree and I am going to make my Mom’s Apple Crisp for our Guests for our Saturday Treat Day.

A Huge Thank you to our Team Member TOM S.  – he gave us 3 awesome days of help this week and we are

so blessed by him.  THANK YOU SO MUCH TOM!!!!!

Dale and Tom have made good progress on the interior walls of the harbor this week.  Dale is sifting dirt/cleaning rocks as he continues to work armoring the interior of the harbor walls.

Harbor Update 9.4.24

Making progress on each side of the harbor channel.  East side is about three-quarters completed and Dale and Tom S. started working on the West side yesterday and will continue today. 

We have a little rain going on this morning.

Laser set up doing it’s job!!

Grizzly set up to shake off as much dirt as possible before placing the rocks on the channel wa    

East side of channel – length is pretty much done, need to add the finishing rock and complete the top of the channel.

These rods mark the bottom width of the harbor.

the start of the West side of channel-

View from the end of our dock by our boat ramp.

 

Harbor/shoreline renovation update

Harbor/shoreline renovation update

The summer is about our camping guests!

We are making progress and working on days when we cause as little disturbance as we can for our guests!

All our guests have been so good with the construction going on, we thank you so much!

There has been much work done and now that we are moving into the Fall season we are working more steadily!

Our goal is to have each side of the channel constructed; the interior wall of the harbor completed all with the goal of

finishing the channel next Spring and filling the harbor with lake water!

Thank you to our son Justin and his friend Travis for answered our call for help to pick up our dock floats in Wisconsin, we have made another trip to the border of Montana for well casing, and of course all the help within the 3- 20 miles from our place for rock, pit run, sand, well drilling, etc.! Blessed by all!

Dale and Tom had to cut off and move 2 of our dock poles not fun to have to do something twice but they got it done!

 

All the rock gets cleaned and screened. Dale’s homemade screener!!

 

Dale found dock floats for sale in Wisconsin, made a call to our son Justin, he called a good friend in Wisconsin, Travis, and within days Travis had picked up our 25 dock floats! Thank you, guys!!! You are so amazing!!

We will be building our own docks and there will be a stairway down to the dock. We found this stairway and have ordered one to make sure this is what we want for our guests to get down to the dock. These shoreline and harbor projects are a lot of work but working through each phase is so cool, each phase working towards completion.  With doing this ourselves this is taking longer to build but we will get it done by the final day of the permits.
