Fishing was excellent again this week. The guys weathered a couple days of thunderstorms followed by a couple of hot and sunny days, but still caught plenty of fish. Matthew shows off an impressive 25.5″ walleye. Nels released this 25″ walleye. And this 25″ fish! Larry, Shawn, & Mike boated over 500 fish. Here’s Larry …

Anyone who comes to the lodge in June knows Carrie’s birthday lands somewhere in the middle of the month. It’s easy for me to remember because it coincides with the highly underrated Flag Day! Flag Day would get a pretty poor seed in a holiday bracket matchup, but I digress. It can be a little …
I betcha didn’t see that coming did ya? Last week we brought back the Eagle Falls Olympics for the 7 kiddos at camp. They didn’t think it was a BAD idea. What’s that you say? You thought the Olympics weren’t until 2016? Well, Brazil has nothing on us. Our Olympics had a fierce line-up of …
