Yesterday Roy and I set out on an adventure to see the Soudan Iron Ore Mine which is about 90 minutes from Kabetogama and the Bear Sanctuary which is only 30-40 minutes from here.  I was a little apprehensive about getting in a tiny cage elevator with twelve other people and going 1/2 mile below the… Continue reading 08.09.13 Soudan Iron Ore Mine visit!

I met a lady today at the resort who lives in northern Minnesota.  She told me about what all they do up here during the winter and the snow is so deep and the lakes have three feet or more of ice on them.  I've seen in movies pictures of these little tiny shacks that are… Continue reading 08.06.13 Ice fishing 2 bedroom houses, Glenn and Hazel, Happy Birthday Donna!

Roy and I went to Minneapolis this week.  It’s a 5 hour drive south from Kabetogama.  One of the things I noticed quickly as we got close to Minneapolis was that the road side grass and weeds in the city along the highway didn’t seem to have been cut all summer.  I thought, Goodness even… Continue reading 08.04.13 Minneapolis here come the Chauvins!

When we were getting the cabins ready to open for the season I noticed that a couple had Gideon Bibles in the bedroom drawers.  I found that most did not have any.  Our family has always helped support the work of the Gideons through contributions at church when they would come to speak to us or… Continue reading 07.30.13 The Gideon Bibles are here!!!

RV life brings with it some issues that have to be researched by each RVer based on their lifestyle and their desires and needs.  When you live in a sticks and bricks house you buy a TV and get the local cable guy to hook you up and it works, end of story.  If you live… Continue reading 07.28.13 Satellite dish upgrade, frost possible tonight, new neighbors and blueberries!

I’ve mentioned the flies and mosquitos in previous posts but today I saw something that needed to be captured in a picture so ya’ll could see how bad it can get up here.  This is the wall on the front of one of our cabins and those lovely little critters are MAY FLIES.  A lot of those… Continue reading 07.18.13 May Flies, more riding toys, herbs from the garden and my poor, poor phone!
