Day 59 - 306 Days to go
1 Day until March 1
Base Camp Coffee of the Day: Lost up the Creek (Colombian)
Today is the last day of my "90 Days Until March 1" countdown. If you haven't read about my logic regarding this, here it is. In the resort business, at least here in SW Missouri, Spring arrives technically the same as everywhere else on March 21. But here, once March 1 arrives, most people are actually thinking Spring. Where we are, the word "March" has the same effect as the word "Spring" to most people. Even thought we stay open all year, Spring is when people begin to feel safe in coming out of the Winter hiding and start making plans for their camp and cabin get-aways. Early flowers have been blooming for a while now and tree buds are straining to pop out. Robins are making everyone crazy with their early morning psycho noise and antics. The only problem I see this year is the typical Spring "Cold Snap" is going to occur this first weekend. Maybe we'll simply get that out of the way quick this year.

The Last Resort Project:
After spending the morning around Rainbow Haven Resort, I got to work a little while at The Last Resort. Mostly it involved taking a few more tools up there and continuing to install the knotty pine wall panels. Not a lot of progress was made but a little. I did, however spend some time researching one of the projects we want to do there. I discussed the possibility of building a small, backyard greenhouse version of an aquaponics system with Ray a couple days ago. Don't let the photo fool you, we have not built this yet, the pic is simply an example. Aquaponics is the combination of hydroponics and fish aquaculture. So it uses a self contained aquatics system to raise both plants and fish. It's an interesting and fairly new trend and Ray is all for giving it a try.
