Technically we can use it 4 seasons. No close. The water gets shut off about mid October before freezing. We aim for Thanksgiving the second weekend of October. Open up as soon as the snow is gone. End of April early may.

I get closing up in October, and getting back in May. Thats about the same for me on the mountain. But Thanksgiving in October. Thats just wrong, what the hell did you guys do with Halloween ??:th_lmao::th_lmao:
the beer is cold again.
Lmao. Yep. Priorities. Cold beer is a must at camp.
We spent the afternoon pulling about 25 kids on the tubes. We tried both tubes today. The two seater sit in and the 2 person round one. (Which gives a wild scary ride). Everyone had a great time again. Made pancakes for breakfast in the outdoor kitchen. Had a nice morning fire.
Yep. That's the plan. I usually provide the daytime entertainment at the lake. In the evening, friends of ours provide the "adult" entertainment. One big family. Party every night. Lmao
The next "big job" was to remove the main gate and rebuild it as it was dragging on the deck when it closed.
I removed it in one piece, layed it down, removed each fence board, and reinstalled them a couple inches lower so that when I reinstalled it, I could just line up the fence boards with the rest of the fence and the gate frame would be 2" higher and not drag/catch. Worked perfectly.
Lmao. I always have something on the go. Little projects to keep me busy.Brian, you ever thought of visiting Texas? Bring your hammer with you. :th_lmao:

I got back to camp at noon then turned around and headed back out with a buddy. We were going down an old logging road about 20 miles from camp when we spotted a narrow trail cut out through the bush and decided to follow it.
It was barely wide enough for the machine but we made it through about a mile where it came to a small lake where there were 5 boats that had been there for years.
We continued on our way back out to the road and back to the main logging road which was being used by logging trucks hauling wood out.
A few miles down, we came across another side road that was well maintained and used. After following it for about 10 miles, it came to a fast moving river where there was a water crossing in about 2 feet of fast water with rocks on the bottom. Of course we crossed it as the road continued on though it was much more grown in but passable. Another 10 miles down the trail we joined up with another old logging road that was more maintained. We went left to see where it went. After driving another 10 or so miles, it came to an old abandoned gold mine where there was a dilapidated old building that looked to be a storage garage for the core samples. There were about 200 empty pails littering the ground along with stacks of old core samples.
A bit further down the road was an old trappers cabin that appeared to have been abandoned in the 90s. It was still fully stocked with furniture and bedding but appeared to have been trashed by a bear at some point. I didn't get a picture of it.
The leaves are turning color making it quite enjoyable to be out in the woods.
