Delivering the mail

Now here is something that you don’t always see, we rode on the mail delivery boat today!  In Old Forge you can have your mail delived to your dock by the mail boat during the summer months.  This is so cool, you sit out on your dock, drinking your coffee, enjoying the lake and here comes the boat right  up to your dock and brings you your bag of mail. It was started when President Harrison had a camp on second lake. 

Lets deliver some mail

Most residents have dogs who love this Mailman!

Well most do! This one wanted us to drop her bone and be out of there!

We only delivered to about 30 camps as lots of people have already gone home for the summer.  The dogs are all so cute, they are right there on the dock waiting for thier treat.  The residents stand on their dock and they do a hand off, one empty bag back to the mailman and they get thier new mail. 

4 Seasons

This is the Resort Paul’s family owned when we first met; there was a big house that the family lived in with rented rooms upstairs and several cottages that were rented out by the week or month.  It has changed a lot since they owned it in the 70’s and 80’s but it is still a great place to go and enjoy the lake and the beauty of this area.  The camps rent for about $5,000 a month in the summer which gets you right on the lake with a dock and beach as well as the use of their canoes.
