Day at the Capital

The members of CMR "Congress of Minnesota Resorts" met with Legislators over a 2 day period to go over some concerns with Resort issues.

The day at the Capital is done annualy.

Some photos didnt turn out well, but you get the idea...haha

Invaded by Deer!!!

In the last few days the deer population has exploded at the resort. I have counted 22 deer arriving daily for a very small hand out of corn, the guests this winter are in for a real treat!

I captured a few photos of the deer in action.
