As always - no caretaker on site!


Any one want a volunteer position for a bit? I'll offer double or triple my pay.... for the next 6 weeks, I've traded a view of THE Lake for the Atlantic Ocean. >Halifax Citadel>

Some of the jobs that I usually do (or ensure that they are done)

-Bring a shovel and stop at culverts along the last 5 miles to ensure that they are not blocked. (Roll rocks off the road)

-Remove all the empty toilet paper rolls from, and sweep out the outhouses. ...Seems no one's Mom ever comes Camping so it rarely gets done!

-Wipe down the counters and clean the windows in the Lodge.

-Check the batteries for the phone system.

-Take away the rest of the garbage that the last group missed.

-Empty, cleanout and put 3" of fresh water in the mouse traps.

-General Camp condition check.

In the mean time, as there never is any caretaker there, User Groups, please ensure that the checkout sheet items are completed, sheet is filled out and (preferably) e-mailed to me right after your Camp time. Pictures of any good times with your group or potential problem areas would help also!

We had a debris torrent last Saturday afternoon that plugged a culvert and washed over the road. The group at Camp had to clear a path to get their vehicles out! Please remember that you are travelling to a wilderness location Camp and be prepared for wilderness situations that may come up. This includes wild animals, rough or impassable roads, vehicle troubles and Camp visitors that we always welcome warmly and show them that the exit is pretty well where they came in.

There have been pests in Camp that we do not want to encourage. City racoons that have been trapped elsewhere and dropped off in the "Wilderness." Do not leave your garbage out and be careful with them in the evenings. They are brazen and not afraid of people. DO NOT FEED THEM! - This also includes the Canada Geese! If you enjoy walking on green lawns, green beaches and green docks, visit Deer lake and go for a swim there. You don't even have to know how to swim as the water there is thick enough to walk on without faith!

Any problems, please e-mail me asap

Thanks,

Kris
