April 28 - Resort Adventures

April 28, 2020
Day 119 - 247 Days to go
Base Camp Coffee of the Day: Lost in the Fog (Guatemala Decaf)

Adventure is what you make it and one of the traditions of "White River Fishing" is flat bottom boats. Going way back to the early days of the White River and even the early days of Lake Taneycomo, the river fishing expeditions have included small flat bottomed Jon Boats. That tradition has slowly been replaced with Bass Boats and Pontoons and that's all good. Still, there's something a little bit nostalgic about being in a small Jon Boat out on the lake. 


Adventure Quote: “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
― Terry Pratchett

April 27 - Resort Adventures

April 27, 2020
Day 118 - 248 Days to go
Base Camp Coffee of the Day: Lost on the Trail (Guatemala)

A new week has begun at the Resorts and we are on a push to get another cabin ready for use at "The Last Resort".  It's going to include a new floor, bathroom upgrade, kitchen cabinets and counter top and so on. The Last Resort" (as we've been calling it) is a 3 bedroom house with 7 additional cabins and a large pool. It was our second resort purchase and helped us get a little further into the resort business back in 2012. As we've continued to grow the business, this property has made better sense as a monthly tenant residential property. It could still be converted to nightly lodging at some point, but for now it's a monthly income type of property.

Cabin 5 is the one getting the attention right now and we plan to have it ready by the upcoming weekend.

April 26 - Resort Adventures - Week 17 In The Books

April 26, 2020
Day 117 - 249 Days to go
Base Camp Coffee of the Day: Lost up the Creek (Colombia)

This is the last weekend in April and today was our busiest day ever in the Tackle Shop. I think the regular cabin fever has been nothing compared to the Corona Cabin Fever. The kayaks and boats were busy as well. We were able to entertain some first time guests this weekend from the Kansas City area and the daughter got her first chance at a kayak and loved it.

Lake Taneycomo is almost a perfect lake for kayaking. It is the White River with a dam at either end. It's a relatively small lake (reservoir) that still resembles a river more than a lake. Meaning if you want to paddle with the current, you get some help. It also means that the water is flat almost all of the time with very little "big boat" traffic. We are situated immediately downstream from Bull Creek which is also an excellent kayak trip. 

Adventure Quote: “Life is an adventure and that is best lived boldly.”
