Spring News 2011

Hi Readers

Thought it was time to update you on springs progression here at Clear Lake.

The lake is still frozen (I walked out aways 2 days ago to retrieve the chairs I had out there for our ice rink) and I suspect it will be for another 2 weeks or so. There is still a good amount of snow in the trees and probably about 50% of our place still has snow cover. In town all the snow is gone.

We are booking up for the summer but still do have some vacancies in some choice weeks, so please see our vacancy calendar for details http://www.algonquinwoods.com/ . The May Long weekend (Victoria Day or May 24) is full but if you want a spring getaway come on up in June. Usually by mid June the lake is warm enough for swimming (last year we started swimming the May long weekend!), the bugs are backing off and I try and have the Rave Bongo and raft out by then.

Hope everyone enjoyed their winter. We had  a great ski season at Hidden Valley Highlands (I ski patrol there and Lucy now teaches on weekends) and had a blast on the final Sunday with Harriet entering a dummy in the infamous Dummy Race.

Now I await anxiously for this snow to go and the ice to break up so I can get at my spring chores.

Till next time

John
