The weather in Red Lake has been quite warm and the snow is melting. Ryan has been taking advantage of the nice weather with fishing and helping his friend Brett haul fuel. If this weather holds we should have a very early breakup.

Ryan is attending the All Canada sport show at Pheasant Run in Chicago. He will be in Green Bay next weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving. We hope you are spending this time with family and friends. The photo is our bay this morning. The temperature is just barely below freezing and the water in the bay is not warm enough to melt the snow that falls into it.

We have been away visiting family in British Columbia. On our return, we found the Tamaracks had lost their needles and there were two big trees down in the parking area by the dock. No damage but it took us all morning to cut up the trees and haul them away.

We have now been in town for a couple of weeks. The airplane is at Red Lake Seaplane Service for maintenance and storage. This picture illustrates that all the coniferous trees in our yard are not all evergreens. The two trees in front of the dock are Tamaracks–their needles turn yellow in October,…

The season is over and we flew to town this afternoon. The cabins are all painted and the firewood is cut and split. Thank you very much to all who chose to vacation with us in 2016. We know you have choices and we appreciate that you chose us.
