Where is the inukshuk on the Resort? These Inuit stone markers were used as memorials and guideposts - showing others where fish were located, for example. The Vancouver 2010 Olympics feature the inukshuk on their logo....helping the world to find Vancouver. Let's see if you can find our inukshuk on the Resort property.

Welcome back Hansreudi Aeschbach (introduced to you all in the winter newsletter as our Frequent Flyer). This weekend Hansreudi logs his 67th visit to the Resort, flying CFFET. In Switzerland Hansreudi works as a Canada specialist for Landair, a travel company. He loves to sell Canada as a destination for pilots and adventurers. He has become a part of our family - we see him in all seasons. He's out flying right now.....

Woke up this morning to the sound of the carp flopping on the water....must be mating season. All I can say is "carp diem".

It was a pleasure to have representatives of the Outdoor Writers Association visit us today for lunch and outdoor pursuits (sightseeing flights, ATV Safari, horseback riding and some fishing). The group is in Peterborough attending their annual conference - the weather co-operated and hopefully they will leave the Kawarthas with a fine impression.

Caught sight of this beautiful fence bottom as I was driving into the Resort today...if I could transport it and hang it on my wall I would indeed. So many times I drive by something and wonder how it was created or how it has existed over time. Of course, I see images in clouds too....the weather was warmer today so everything looked naturally wonderful.

Thank you to the Veenman family for forwarding this photo of their daughter at the stables with Charlie. Riding lessons and trail rides are available daily.

Caught Albert and Buckshot having a moment today....Albert is still

bottle feeding the orphaned calf - during feeding time Buckshot doesn't appear to realize Albert isn't a mother cow. Very cute!

Romance Weekend coming up....where are all the Renaissance Men?

Happened to notice there are a few cottages left in July...have you booked your summer vacation yet?

Just a reminder that our American guests will require a passport to return home now....

German travel agents specializing in selling Canada recently visited the resort to see what we had to offer. Floatplane flying was a big hit with the group. Good sports all, they hiked up to the barn and around the trails before checking out the wine cellar and then enjoying an outdoor barbecue.

This past weekend we hosted the Culinary Tourism Adventure with media and chefs who are passionate about slow food - using what you have at hand. The group were treated to a regional cuisine luncheon on Monday - a showcase of local producers and chefs preparing homegrown food. We hope to see stories on the Kawarthas and local partners.
