Well friends we had a family here yesterday from Germany that stayed here days before and the child loved it that I took her and her dad for a quick SXS ride. Then yesterday they came back and again the 5 year old wanted to go for another ride. This time mom was coming but was in the shower, so i ask the father if he wanted to go for a quick mud ride. The side of Highway 16 had some water and a lot of mud. So I took him for a spin and he loved it. Once we came back the girls where reaqady for there ride to the church and the train tracks. After I droppen them of then Grandpa wanted to go for a ride throu the mud. He loved it just as much. When they left this morning we had a long chat and then they left.
15 minutes late they came back with a bottle of Gibson,s Whisky for me. I told them that was not necessary I don't do this to get paid. I do it because it is fun. So they signed the back of the bottle with all there name. I thank you guys again for the fine whisky, and I hope to see you guys again. All the best of you remaining holiday. Cheers

Well friends this is one of the reasons I tell people to never travel without cash money with them. A lot of times people only travel with a credit card and not a penny of cash with them. Since 6 am we have no internet, tv or phone. My brother in Terrace 280 km away also has nothing and he is with a different provider. I can not even call my provider because they use the same fibre optic as everyone else uses. So it is always buisy using my cell phone.

So it will be cash only; first because of no internet and second because we have not received our POS machine yet. We hope in another day it should arrive. Happy Camping everyone.

Well time has come for us to open the Park again soon. In the next day or so i will be out there leaf blowing and trimming trees, while Cathie is today in the greenhouse and getting the Bagonias ready for the summer. Yes we will start the wood stove for the night so they dont d+e during the night due to the cold we are still getting. We will let people come by for the night, you will just need to know that the water is not on yest, and the POs mashine will be ordered in May. So it will be cash for right now.

As we were in Vancouver for 2 weeks, we have seen a lot of RV"ers on the trip, i can tell people are already on the move. Hope everyone has a great 2026 Camping Season.

Well it was time for me to clean out the hotwater tank. I have not done this in 2 years and yesterday i did it. Most people do not know that some hotwater tanks have clean out ports specially the price of this 90 gallon one. We have calcium in out water and yes it gets deposited over time. So here are before and after pictures. The water was still clean and is the same in any other hotwater tank but you just dont know it. Flushed it twice and is ready to use soon .

Well friends you have seen our new deck. Now what is better to a new deck but NEW signs. Yes we have gotten new Office and Park here signs. This is partially do to people don't comprehend the office sign and dont see the price list and the open window to the office, instead they walk into my Private residence which is right above the Office. So if someone now walks into our private residence than there is something really wrong with them. I think I could make it bigger but this is good enough for me. A before and after picture. What do you think?
