No doubt moose river. That'll be the day. Get a room in cold lake for 70 bux a night. The government should pave a road into winefred an build a 300 lot campsite.

3 People with Boat and fuel and room with a Kitchenette. Heat was extra!! :-) Bad directions on where to take a truck through a mud hole was free though. Still kinda Salty on that one.

They did throw in some seats for the boats for free. Jon seemed like a a nice enough guy and the dock hand was really good.

Overall though, the engine on our boat started, the boats were beat up a bit, the seats were all worn out, the Log lodge has seen much better days, the showers were AWESOME and hot, the units are small and uncomfortable to stay in, The beds were nice, the sheets were nice. It was neat to see old school bubble TVs, Fold up chairs for around the table were quickly replaced by stealing from the other unit we had access to.

This was our second trip. Both times had us laughing and making great memories. But I think I am done here. Other adventures are to be found. Heat is important and I didn't feel the greatest after reading his response about the $700 worth of truck repairs. Just didn't feel the love and I think I might find it elsewhere.

Really too bad but I think this is what the new owners want by design. They don’t want prying eyes...they make their money off of Americans. I hope Fish & Wildlife makes many many many unannounced visits to the McMahons...

What’s the bigger tragedy is the old owners sold out knowing damn well this guy is an outfitting poacher..

That American idea isnt working out to well this year I am afraid. And unless they are going to flood that place for fishing during the summer, I cant see too many taking advantage of it. Sure hunting is there but that place can hold a back of people that a hunting camp never would. They are in the midst of renovating the conference centre with a new deck but I didn't see much progress during our time.
