Title: So where are the boys stayin for tall Pines?
Post by dtompsett on 10/06/4 at 23:52:09

So.... this will be my 3rd time working tall pines, and i'm curious about this 'winterized cottage' idea.... not that I don't love Elmer's hunt camp... but I really do hate that outhouse!

So... is there any interest in getting a cottage? Is the drive to the cottage as fun as the drive to Elmers? I guess we'd hafta cook for ourselves.... breakfast at Elmers is always a delight.

I stayed at Limerick Lake Lodge last year. It was basic but clean and comfortable (with indoor plumbing). Also cheap. I will most likely be there again this year.

I have asked Trish about the "winterized cottage". I am hoping it is closer to town.

Elmer is a wonderful host and it is a great drive, but when you are beat on Saturday night, after a long day of working, it is a bloody long drive.

I might still stay at Elmer's though, the price is right! ;D

I will most likely be at elmers unless I can be persuaded otherwise...

ya... maybe I'll just give in, and stay at elmers. I mean, it is a fun drive, and I definitely enjoy the atmosphere.

Yeah, well I slept like a log there after a couple long days. The breakfast is great, that big communal table, the stove, etc. No phones! Not keen on that bog, though!

The driveway's in pretty good shape this year, much better now than in the spring anyways. I don't know what it'll be like after hunting season though.

I have confirmed for Elmer's again this year. Can't beat the value.

Dibs on the big bed at the back!!!

I can get my Golf down the driveway Ryan, no snivelling from you AWD guys. ;D

Hey, there won't be any of that from me man! Rallycrosses have taught me one thing: floorpans can take a lot of abuse! ;D

i just confirmed with trish to stay both nights at Elmers...

Seems silly to have a beer tent after the event though.... maybe by then i'll have the 'G' license, and I can actually have a beer and not be illegial to drive.

There's a big bed in the back????

Yeah, there is, beyond the bunk beds. I call the big couch directly across from the wood stove!

That blue couch near the stove is mine!

Im confirmed in as well now, see you all there!

Hmmm... I know I slept on one of the couches last year... was pretty comfortable... so I call one of those again (assuming there are enough)

There is a double in the back and being not a small gent, I prefer it. It is also furthest from the heat stove and I like it cool to sleep. Elmer puts on an unbelievable fire and the place is normally roasting.

I think I will pick up a few beverages to have at Elmer's. I would imagine the OPP knows about the beer tent. :o

Sounds like a plan.... i'd thought about it, but wasn't sure how Elmer would react to it.... maybe only bring a 6-pack :-/
