Here are some various stats from the 2015 season. Enjoy! 22,500 gallons of rainwater pumped out of boats (our guesstimate) 4,985 pictures shared by guests 3,665 liters of diesel fuel used (hopefully less this year with solar power!) 945 fish landed in Travis’ boat $215 spent mailing lost and found items back to the states …
We know what you’re wondering. “Where have you guys been?!” Yeah, we kinda dropped off the map for awhile there. We both had a busy winter fulfilling our offseason job commitments and working on some house projects. We also spent months training for and competing in the Illinois Marathon this past weekend. Both of us …
Its Christmas Eve and here at the Mack house we are ready for a few extra days to spend visiting family and friends as we wind down another great year. Cosmo is busy celebrating and being extra merry in his Santa “paws” bandana which seems to earn him extra treats and love. Cheers to all! …
Last week we found out that one of our most beloved guests of the lodge passed away unexpectedly. He was a good one – genuinely kind and selfless, with a great Wisconsin accent and smile. I was in Dave’s boat when I caught my biggest walleye to date. He was so truly happy for me …
Happy Monday everyone! Travis and I spent part of our weekend checking and re-checking the reservation calendar for 2016. And we discovered something….we have NO availability left! Zero. Zilch. Nadda. Its not even Thanksgiving yet, and our calendar is full! This is 100% due to our awesomely loyal guests that make our job WAY easier …
So you may have noticed that the website looks…..different. We are in the middle of doing some redesign work and updating our server (I know it sounds SUUUUPER fun) so please excuse the mess. All the info is still there for the most part, but don’t hesitate to send us an email if something seems …
Its hard to believe Travis and I left Eagle Falls four whole weeks ago already. Its even harder to believe that Halloween is next week! The first month back is always a weird pocket of time. There is a lot of excitement to see friends and family, eating foods we have missed, see our house …
So where were we? Oh right, Carrie and I had hiked three miles through the bush to an infamous muskie lake and a giant one had just T-boned my bait mid-air. When fish and bait splashed back into the lake, I attempted a hook set and felt the bait slip, but the fish was still …
The 2015 season was over for us quite a few days ago. But we made time for one last adventure to chase the elusive muskie before departing this fall. Many of you are aware there is a chain of lakes southeast of the lodge where muskies have secured the upper hand and are the dominant …
The lodge won’t quite look the same next season. That’s because we installed our first solar panel this fall before departing! That’s right, the lodge is now harnessing the power of the sun. This project had been on the wish list for some time. This panel produces about 240 watts of power. The panel controller …
