Good morning all! So a few posts back we listed some of the crazy numbers associated with the 2012 season (read that post here), one of which had to do with some certain dinner guests. From Scotland. For real. I thought I would fill in the details that you have been anxiously awaiting since we …
Hello everyone! Cosmo wanted me to remind you all to go out and vote today! This election season has really worn him out. Also, just for fun, this is a video promoting the new GoPro camera. Travis is obsessed with these and I think it is officially on his “I need (but really just want) …
Good afternoon to all! *Our thoughts are with everyone dealing with the aftermath of Sandy, and we hope everyone and their families who were affected are recuperating well.* I have just returned home to Illinois after traveling solo to Thunder Bay, Ontario! The 2012 annual NOTO (Nature and Outdoor Tourism Ontario) conference was held in …
If you’ve noticed the long delay between posts, you’re not the only one. We haven’t forgotten about the blog, but Carrie and I have been very busy settling back into our winter jobs.

Good afternoon to all! Some of you who have been up more recently may have heard me talking about the Red Lake Triathlon. They had the 23rd annual Red Lake Triathlon last Sunday morning and I am proud to say that I took part in it. This was definitely a new type of competition for …
Good evening! Last week I briefly mentioned a special dessert we enjoyed out at the lodge that I wanted to tell you guys about. Well, this story really starts two years ago during the 2010 summer in August. Travis had just arrived with our group on Saturday and we were busy unloading everything into the …
