don't even think about it

This is just a little warning to those who might be thinking of packing up and driving down to the camp this Fall. I wouldn't go there if I were you.....you know, mildew, smoky fireplace, mouse families setting up winter quarters, not to mention a snake or two cosily coiling to hibernate in the most unlikely places.
And then there is always the remote, but oh so possible visit from the dreaded "shell divers". They may pretend to be needing a glass of water or a twinkie, but these are a species of man that you do not want to cultivate a relationship with---they fly Confederate flags and don't need to call 911 for police assistance, if you get my drift.

Another reason to stay home this fall is the alarming lack of technology at the camp. There is absolutely no way for you to communicate on the world-wide web, or watch those long awaited football games. I would just settle back in your easy chair at home with snacks just a five minute drive away at your fully stocked grocery (unlike Big Sandy Market who has never even heard of
guacamole) and have a front row seat in the comfort of YOUR OWN HOME!

Someone has to check on the moldy place now and again, so just leave it to Phil and me and we will do it for you. Just think, you can have the peace of mind of knowing that someone is willing to brave all that inconvenience and mouse poop, while you spend your well-earned vacation time drinking margaritas on the beach, or eating fresh seafood just steamed in your spotless stainless steel kitchen.

There is absolutely no charge for our services. We believe that the reward lies in doing the right thing, regardless of the time spent away from our responsibilities at home.

Have a great fall and winter, and the camp will be ready for you next summer to ski, swim, fish, and play your hearts away in the warm sun and weedy water.
