Hi Everyone,

What do you think is the number one question people ask Judy and me when them come to visit Whitetail Lodge? Well, it’s probably not what you are thinking.

The number one question people ask is, “So, who plows the snow on the road in the winter?” Actually, it’s a pretty good question. You see, the last mile of roadway into our property is a private dirt road. That means, that neither the county or State plows the road, and that leaves the plowing to our neighbors and us.

And that’s where we’d like your help. We are looking for a four-wheel drive truck and a plow that we could use to plow this section of road. Last year I (Pat) simply used our snow blower to clear the snow out to the beginning or our drive. But the plowing on the rest of the roadway was a bit spotty.

So we’re asking for your help. If you know of someone who wants to get rid of a truck and snow plow please let us know. This doesn’t have to be a new truck by any means. Just functional. We desperately need this as the weather here is starting to turn colder and we know it’s only a matter of time before the big snow falls. So if you know of someone who could help us out with a truck and plow have them give us a call at 320-310-8877. If they make this as a donation we can give them a receipt for tax purposes.

It has certainly been a weird fall here in the northwoods. October was simply cold and filled with rain and rain and more rain. We’ve enjoyed these first two weeks of November as they’ve been sunnier and warmer. Below are a couple of pictures that will give you an idea of how beautiful fall is around here, and how much snow we got last winter. Thanks for checking in, and remember, we love you guys. God bless - Pat & Judy
