Day 37 of fighting the high water of Lake of the Woods

Sunday Second Battle lost against the high water and wave action of the lake 

Flooding -Day 1 clean-up has started on 6.26.22

FIRST STEP OF CLEAN UP-REMOVE WATER

SUNDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT BLESSED WITH THE HELP OF AARON-JON, CHARLIE and CONTINUED SUPPORT FROM OUR NEIGHBORS ARNESEN FAMILY!

Thank you all- we will never forget!!!

Hello Everyone!

We are in high hopes of being back on track on 7.11.22.  We will know more over the next 48 hours- we are figuring out where we are going to start on what we will need to do to re-open by 7.11.22.

We are so sorry for the inconvenience to all.

We are going to ask anyone who would like to book with us this summer we are asking for you to call us at 320-630-6734.

We have stopped all online reservations, for now, changing to phone reservations, so that we can visit with you directly as to what our status is and make sure you know what the water /camping conditions are when you book.

Anyone who would like to make a reservation for this summer, fall, or the upcoming winter Please call Connie at 320-630-6734

If you get my voicemail-please leave a message –

I will return your call ASAP!!

Well, we rescued our lakeside sitting areas. 

The Beach bar and Pergola’s, unfortunately, were left lakeside!

So I made a new sitting area, and we still have the lake to look at since it has decided to come closer to the office

(probably not a very funny joke at this point in time)!!

“When life gives you lemons,

make lemonade”

I am guessing each evening this is where you will find us.

Come have a beverage with us!!

(More than likely not lemonade-just saying)

When life gives you lemons make lemonade – The phrase was initially coined by Christian anarchist writer Elbert Hubbard in a 1915

Due to high winds, high water, and flooding today 6.26.22 we have lost our fight against the high water and elements.  This morning we fought the high winds and waves and added additional plastic sheeting but it was too much, we could not keep up and the waves blew out our berm to the East as we were working on the berm to the West.  Our entire Lakeside campground is now underwater.

We are closing our Resort for a week or two so we can regroup, repair our berm, repair our campground along with pumping all the water out.

I am sorry to say we will have to cancel all reservations through July 10th as of right now.  We will be contacting everyone who has reservations over the next 2 weeks.  If anyone wishes to cancel their reservation for this summer we understand 100%.  You deserve a great camping trip and we are sorry we are unable to give you the best vacation we can right now.  We will continue to update you via phone calls and postings on our website along with links on our Facebook page.

Our pictures from this morning – We were fighting back against the waves and wind this morning at 7:00 a.m. but by 9 a.m. we had to evacuate our entire campground. We want to thank each and everyone who assisted- your kindness will not go unnoticed. Amazing people surrounding us near and far. So many people. Thank you!! Dale and Connie

Not looking good!!

Another 1.75 inches of rain tonight – came down hard and heavy! Few branches and a tree down but our camping guests are okay and doing good.

Rain has quit and is back to pumping. Dale ran the pumps, checking on them, filling gas, making sure the water continue to go where we wanted, up to 11:30 p.m. and back at it the next morning. Still running pumps today Wed 6.22.22

TODAY, WED 6.22.22, IS A BETTER DAY!!!!

Father’s Day Breakfast at Dale’s On Lake of the Woods!!

We had a beautiful morning Sunday morning, Father’s Day!  Dale and I made breakfast lakeside for our camping guests, friends, and neighbors.  We served about 30 guests with pancakes, eggs made to order, bacon, and sausage.  Along with Coffee, milk, juice, and your traditional pancake syrup and butter topping!! The weather was just perfect, the rain held off until breakfast was over!  It was so much fun!!

Thank you to everyone that took the time to have breakfast lakeside with us this past Father’s Day!!

Throughout history people such as 

Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, The Wright Brothers, Bill Gates, and Mother Teresa

all had a passion so strong that no matter the obstacles,

they made their dreams come true.

What was their secret to staying so driven?

How did they ignite their passion every day?

They had a very clear plan, a mental blueprint,

that guided them successfully to their targets.

With a clear target, you have the most powerful advantage

to making your dream a reality.
