No takers for the Job?

No one bid on my job at Camp - so I had to come back from the Maritimes. Thanks to those who kept good care of the Camp. The place looks real good! Any groups with ideas for fall work day, please let me know.

New news for July 23. As of noon, July 24th, there is a campfire ban in place. Please check Forestry website before heading up to Camp.

http://bcwildfire.ca/hprScripts/WildfireNews/DisplayBan.asp?ID=244#CampfireBans

This open fire ban applies within BC Parks and all public (Crown) and private land outside of organized areas. This fire ban does not apply within municipalities or regional districts with their own burning bylaws. This ban does not restrict fires in stoves using gas, propane, or briquettes. This restriction does apply to open flame campfire apparatus (i.e. propane campfires, etc.).A campfire ban will be in effect until weather conditions no longer pose a threat to wildfire starts.

Please take extra precautions with any and all heat sources...... Vehicle exhaust etc.

We have installed a gas pump to help wet down the bush areas around the lodge. Please familiarize yourselves with the operation of the pump. Remember to refill the gas tank when you leave and please lock the lock onto the hasp when the lid is open and lock the lid before you leave the Camp. (same key as the gate)





Again - Many of the groups tell me that they had to ask strangers to leave the Camp. When asked "How did they drive in?" I was told that the gate was only left open for a minute for part of their group that was still coming! ... None of these people saw the private property signs??

Please observe the rules. Keep the gate locked. Your party can walk the 2 minutes to come get the key and lock it behind them again.
