Quick update for what will no doubt be the greatest March Camp of the year!!
First, the ferry is supposed to be open starting tomorrow! Remember the new ferry hours are still in effect which means it’s only running until 6:00 PM CST.
Second, with the ferry hours we will once again have a pot luck at Maple Springs Saturday night. Bring or prepare a dish to share, should be a great time. Dinner at 6ish.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.

We'll need to talk about the barn project. Jay, who was going to help us, killed himself last year. So we don't have anyone with a 4WD truck and trailer to haul out salvaged aluminum and weathered barn lumber. I have an idea, but need to check with Jay's family.
