Spring cleanup is in full swing...

Winters in New Hampshire are snowy and fun but they definitely take a toll on the camp landscaping. From matted down grass to scattered tree branches to our messed-up sandy beach there is a lot to do to make the place presentable come spring. 

I will not bore you with pictures of my thousands of piles of leaves and other debris but here are a few recent shots from my work around the property.

Just grabbing one of many loads of mulch. #trucklife

 

Spreading mulch with my sidekick Tuckerman...and those gorgeous boats.

 

Hard work paying off.

Lastly, a snowy winter means lots of melt flowing into the lake. We have never seen the water level this high! As you can see below it is flowing over our lower retention wall!

Watch out for that first step!

Rafa!

One of our campers from last summer came to us from the Dominican Republic. Yes, I had the same reaction initially: why would anyone leave the Caribbean for northern New England? Well because we are awesome.

Anyway...Rafa has been getting after it in the DR at a new wakeboard park in his hometown of Punta Cana. See below.

No, we did not edit that photo. The DR is just that gorgeous.

 

insane SUP voyage

We all saw the Instagram posts last week of Chris Bertish completing his insane Stand Up Paddle voyage across the Atlantic Ocean but reading the below article from NatGeo about the entire adventure puts the feat in greater perspective.

Huge props to Chris for not only completing the adventure but also raising millions for charity.
