Lodge Update

  This is just a quick update, stating what we are currently doing to help out camp and the business.  First of all, cabin 5 has been in need of a total renovation.  Unfortunately, our winter bookings (contractors) that would fund that project have been slim, so we won't be getting to change the entire cabin.  However, we decided to send some money it's way still, and renovate the bathroom.  This is our trial run, as we plan to renovate all the bathrooms in the next 3 years.  We are installing a 32" round corner shower, new toilet, and sink.  As of now I have the bathroom drywalled and painted.  Lots of work left, hoping next week to have it done.

  We are also in the process of buying linens for the camp.  What a process it is.  We have tried one company, and we were less than impressed and sent everything back.  We are currently looking for a new supplier and wanting to get this done, as fishing season is just around the corner!

  We also picked up a new work machine for the camp.  As we are finally building our Bear Hunting into a valued part of the business, we purchased a new work horse- a polaris Ranger.  We have had many hunters request this addition, and to stay competitive, we decided to go ahead.  It has a steel cab, tracks and wheels, and in dash heat.   The plan is to use it for ice fishing, and bear baiting and hunting,  and then once June is rolling then the cleaning staff get to use it.  We may even do some ice cream selling in the park with it.  One thing for sure is it is very versatile.

  Here's a picture of shore lunch with the Ranger!
