The late Sping has really kept me busy trying to catch up with all of the little jobs that need to be done to get Rockwood Lodge ready for the season. The new patio doors for Cabin #6 are in but the door for another cabin has been put into storage until this Fall. Now that I have finally got things under control it is time to start posting some new blogs.
Our summer staff arrived from China earlier this month. Jason and Mika are quickly adjusting to life on the edge of a wilderness -- no cell phone coverage, no TV and no broadband Internet. Jason has seen a bear and two moose already and Mika is impatiently waiting for her first sighting. I took them fishing last night and Jason has to eat walleyes caught by Mika -- much to her delight.
This morning I did a transport to Ram Lake and we stopped to see a cow moose down by Swamp Lake. She has two calves and there are moose road signs with the word "Baby" posted on both sides of Swamp Lake. All three have been hanging out in this area for a couple of weeks.
It is great to have the LONG winter season finally behind us. Everything seems to be running a little late this year. The Lilac are blooming now and we expect that the blueberry season will be a least a week or two later getting started this summer. Fishing on Poplar Lake has been great but unfortunately the mosquito season has also started.
I promise to start carrying a camera and to post more photos on a regular basis.
