A real window rattling night with violent thunderstorms passing through around mid-night. A few had the thunder within a second of the flash, so it was close by. Forecast is for the next 36 hours to be unsettled with more storms passing by. The coming weekend looks good.
The store is open weekends through mid-June, when it will then be open 7 days a week for the summer. Lodge, cabin and campsite reservations for the 2013 season can be made by e-mail, or directly on line on this website.
Get well wishes go out to my dad, George Sr., after taking a tumble while gardening and breaking his hip this weekend. He had successful surgery on Sunday. Brother Ed is looking after details for the family.
Don’t forget to put your name on your boat trailer. Once there are 60 or 70 of them in the field it is easy to get them mixed up. Not that the owner will not recognize it, but when the various dealers come in for mid-season service work, they can’t find the correct trailer.
To whomever left their boat trailer 6 inches in front of my garage door, “Why would you ever leave a trailer blocking someone’s garage door when there was plenty of other space in the lot?” You will find it in the field with all the other stored trailers.
There are 3 lodge rooms and one campsite still available for opening weekend (June 21-22-23) of bass season. Everything else is booked up that weekend. Both weeks of deer season are available. Deer hunts are limited in the number of hunters so as not to have too many hunting the available land.
The Bancroft Chamber has put together four guided tours that will be available this coming summer. 1. The local Fish Hatchery 2. Learn about the local logging industry 3. A flora, fauna and bird watching themed tour of Eagles Nest park 4. Elk watching. There is a $10 per person fee for each tour. The geologist lead mineral tours will be back this summer too.

Don Weller’s beautiful - ready to move in, with road access, cottage is still available. Asking price is $750k, but Don will entertain all reasonable offers. There are some photos of the cottage and accessory buildings in the Photos 2011 gallery on this web page. While $750 is a lot for this lake, browsing the Homes and Land magazine recently showed that similar cottages, not all that far from here, sell for as much as $1.5 million.
The 30 acre parcel that is listed along the right side of the road into the marina has just been reduced to $159k. That is finally getting into the ball bark. That is listed by Wayne White with Coldwell Banker.
