Memorial Weekend's coming!

What a perfect morning! One of our guests (Thanks, Carl) snapped this photo of his cabin bright and early - the lake was still and clear as glass... perfect weather for canoeing, fishing, or just relaxing at Rockwood! We're full for the holiday weekend, so it's been a very busy week... our guests have been exploring the hiking trails, relaxing, canoeing, and generally enjoying watching Spring arrive.

Open Water!


We woke this morning to a wonderful sound... water lapping against the dock in front of our house! The past several days we've been enjoying what I call the "ice tea" noise - little chunks of ice rattling against the edge of the "big freeze" - sounds just like ice in a glass of iced tea!


We had a little bit of wind last night and it cleared all the ice cubes away... we have open water! The ducks will be so pleased! I can't tell whether it's open all the way across, but our bay looks like its summer self again!

Happy May Day!


It's melting! We actually have a few feet of water along the shore! Spring is getting close!
