Well, this happened…. I know I mentioned that we were really hoping to not undo all the water hookup progress we had made this week, but after checking (and rechecking) the forecast it looked like there were going to be 3-4 nights dipping far enough below freezing to cause damage to the water system and …
We are keeping a close eye on a huge forest fire burning in the Woodland Caribou Provincial Park just west of Red Lake along the Ontario/Manitoba border. Most of Ontario is under an open fire ban currently due to unseasonably dry conditions. This fire hasn’t garnered as much attention in the media as the Fort …
Cosmo wanted to reach out to his fan base by writing another guest blog, so here he is….. THEY BROUGHT ME BACK!!!! I thought they might when they started moving lots of things around at the house. And then there were lots of boxes and bags. And then everything went outside,which makes me nervous, so …
It’s transition time! You know what that means! No, we aren’t practicing for the next triathlon. We crossed the border yesterday and will be working hard this week to open the lodge. That means we will be tough to get ahold of for a few days. The best way to reach us will be email …

Both of us …
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 …
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 …
