I finally had a nice sunny morning so I could take some updated pictures of the man made lakes. They have filled quite nicely as you can see. Although it is still nice right now I can’t wait for the grass to get green and the leaves to come out. Things have certainly changed since this time last year.
I also discovered on my walk this morning that we have two pairs of geese camping out. There were two out in the new area and then I came across these guys that seem to like ice skating.
It has been a common occurrence to walk around the campground and see the Geese in the pond, by the playground, by the mini golf or wherever. But this one through me for a loop this morning.
Maybe planters make good nests? I’m not sure. But she sure seems like a silly goose to me.
Rubber Ducky Resort is now offering golf cart rentals. As a special treat to kick things off, one of our campers is going to win a free weekend rental. Will it be you? All you need to do to enter is email your name to rubberduckycontest@hotmail.com. (one entry per person please). I will be making the draw on June 15 and soon you will be cruising the Duck.
We all know that last Winter and Spring was unusually warm. We all know that this Winter and Spring has been unusually cold. I don’t remember when there have been two more different years. So over the last month, I have been trying not to make the ‘this time last year’ statements. It just didn’t seem fair to compare the two and not to mention that it made this Spring feel so much worse. Until today that is. We have a vague remembrance that by this time last year we were already moving trees, finishing man made lakes and making campsites. But we couldn’t remember exactly the dates that we did things. Today I remembered that our construction start date on the pool last year was April 9. As I spoke those words out loud, the full reality of the difference between the two years truly sunk in. April 9. Today is April 10. Wow. Really?
This was taken at the end of the first week of construction in 2012
This was taken today.
I would like to keep a positive spin on things, but this really sucks. It’s time to camp already.
We are now accepting applications for the upcoming season. If you or anyone you know is looking for a summer job check out the details on our website. An employment application form can be downloaded and returned by email or in person. Some positions will start in April and some will start in June.
As I was coming in the driveway the other evening something strange caught my eye. It was still just barely light out so all I could make out were two blobs on the pond. As my brain tried to process what it could be I looked a little farther and saw the distinctive long neck of a Canada Goose. That could only mean one thing – our feathery friends have come back for their annual visit.
While they are a little confused they did assure me that yes Spring will be here soon.
There are actually three of them, but one was being camera shy.
One of the common questions we get asked is where to rent a camper. Until now I haven’t really had an answer. Earlier this week we had the pleasure of meeting Colin from Camper Dude RV Rentals. If you have you been wanting to try RVing, but don’t want to spend the big money to buy a camper or maybe you just need a camper for one week to relax with friends at their favorite campground. This is a good place to check out. Camper Dude RV Rentals offers rental trailers ranging from tent trailers to 26ft travel trailers. You don’t even need to have your own camping supplies. Camper Dude supplies everything from dishes to BBQ’s.
