The End Of Another Great Season


Today's Sunshine
 Today marked the "official"  closing of Rockwood Lodge & Outfitters for the 2012 season with the taking down of the US flag. The sun is shinning and the temperature is quite mild here in northern Minnesota. All of the nasty closing closing chores have been completed: waterlines drained and blown, canoes stored for the winter, rain gutters cleaned, septic tanks covered with straw, etc. We have now moved onto more enjoyable things like replacing some entry door lock sets, trimming trees and getting the snowmobile ready for winter.

Two Weeks Ago  -- Hesitation
 Looking back, it is had to believe that two weeks ago we snow, sleet and cold weather to contend with.  We want to thank everyone who visited with us this past season and look forward to seeing many of you again next year. We plan to spend most of the "off" season getting ready for next year. New canoes and packs have been ordered and we are already working on selecting new items for our outfitting food menus. Even though we are officially "closed" the Lakeside unit will be open throughout this winter.

THANKS,
Mike and Lin
