Rubber Ducky Resort & Campground – A family campground located in Warren, near Winnipeg, Manitoba

As I have said before we are busy with American waterfowl hunters staying in our rooms this month. Well, we had quite the crew here this past week. They have stayed with us before and as always it makes for a great time.

Don had a ‘bang’ up time with some of our campers and friends on Saturday night. Then just before leaving on Sunday afternoon they had to test out the new CWO transportation unit.

Yes, what you are seeing is 1 dog, 6 California hunters, 2 Manitoba outfitters and 2Rubber Ducky girlies. Fortunately we didn’t need the vaseline to get anyone out and the train made it around safely.

 On a personal note – some days it gets hard for me to keep up with the schedule this time of year, but for the 4 days that you guys were here it was never an issue. It was great to have such a fun, relaxed atmosphere around here – I almost looked forward to getting up at 4 am. I know that Sarah would agree with me. She hasn’t had such a captive audience for her silliness in a while, especially the knock knock jokes while Hollywood was cornered in the kitchen.

I hope that you guys had a great time as well and that we will see you again.

We have been working on yet another project since mid summer. Those of you who have been here or driven past may be wondering just what is going on the the field. Well it is another pond. We are in the final landscaping stages and it is getting close to full of water. The ducks have already found it and we need to get ourselves a duck crossing sign for the driveway now.  They regularly make the trip across for a barley snack and a swim. We are hoping to have some trout in the pond next year to have some catch and release fishing. We are also tossing around some other ideas for the land surrounding the area such as a u-pick strawberry patch, garden plots and/or a saskatoon orchard. I will keep you posted as to what we decide.

I am not sure if my picture will do the pond justice, but this is what we saw on the way from the school bus this morning. It was frosty outside and the steam was rising off the water.

Fight night is almost here.  I don’t know much about it personally, but it seems to be a big thing for those that are into it. (check out www.ufc.com for more info) It is only on pay per view. We are bringing in an 8 ft screen to show it on. The night is open for anyone to come to. We are charging a $10 admission and that includes a burger and fries.
