Welded palm tree on Cabin #1 - by Pete Brand 1956-2012

We are due for some cold weather tonight - possibly freezing - so you may be glad you are visiting later in the season. Give Mike and Goatman credit for braving it for a few days - they are due later today. And also the Florida trails group which just left today - they did a bunch of bike riding and kayaking and had a great dinner at Cafe Bleu in Welaka. The campfire helped a lot on Friday night.  

Our team has been intact for over a year now - Jim, Terry, Wayne, Karla and John.  Jim is down most weekends and we are in the process of setting up an office in #6 - the single-wide - where he has been staying since last summer. We have had to upgrade our bookkeeping service and are doing it ourselves - using Quickbooks. So we now are printing out receipts from the computer. We will set up a ticket when you arrive and then print you out one upon departure.  This is partly due to Ms.Terry's situation - she is dealing with a few health issues and may not be quite as visible as in the past. She has never been one to sit around, so expect to see her doing much of the same things as she always has.

Mr. Wayne and Ms. Karla are in the Outback behind the double-wide and Wayne is consistently available to help with your needs. Ms. Karla has just completed a deep cleaning of all the cabins - so they are ready to go for the season.  And Mr. John lives in the RV to the north of #1 - you will see it on the right as you enter under the sign.

John keeps the grounds looking great and has greatly improved the campfire area in particular.  The camp is in great shape due to their collective efforts. We look forward to the start of the fishing season in about a month, and to the return of all of those of you who make this place so special.  

Catch ya later.
