Red Deer Log Cabins

It's not going to stay.
Predicting a green Christmas, lots of rain between now and then.
The wasps told me
​

The Season of 2016 is a wrap.

Thanks to everyone who made it one of the best in years.

​Book any time for 2017...

Google moved my marker again.  I moved it back again.  My ears ring with the laughter of those who know how many times I have said that Google is fixed...

​Still trying to get the body of water name back to the real one too.  The way they have it labeled, water runs up the Madawaska to Moore's Falls, which is not marked in any way.

So when do we get past the virtual, and on to the reality portion?
I have lost track of how many people need to NOT do their jobs in order for my map point to be displayed incorrectly.  How/why do they keep manipulating my data?

​

It appears the issues with Google, which has been an ongoing situation for 17 months, are finally resolved.  We still need to see if they can change back the name of the body of water to the west of the campground to read "Moore's Creek".  Someone over there decided it was part of the Madawaska River...it is a distinctly separate tributary, spilling from Moore's Lake.

Over 100 emails and I have no idea how many phone conversations later, the ghost posting of Red Deer Lodge & Campground (name change 5 years ago, somehow the property moved over to Highway 17) is eradicated from the system.  I think the GPS problem is fixed, but we won't know until someone has trouble...or not.  Maybe now I won't get any more phone calls from people asking me if I am sure my place is not on Highway 17.  Maybe now I won't get people following GPS lost down a dirt road facing a locked gate.  Maybe.

If anyone finds a posting for Red Deer Log Cabins on Airbnb, please let me know. Someone is trying to make an unauthorized account using my publicized email address. Of course, it is easy to find pictures on the internet to phoney up a listing...

Red Deer Log Cabins does not have an offer on Airbnb, and because i don't have an account with them, I cannot contact them to report the fraud. I don't intend to make an account, as I don't agree with the 'sharing' economy. There are huge corporate $$s being made by duping people into believing they are 'sharing'. Airbnb properties are (so far) exempt from all of the regulations that the public petitioned the government to make for their protection as citizens. Now tourists are happy to circumvent those regulations, which cost huge tax $$s to create, and have put an unfair burden on legitimate tourism providers. As with Uber, Airbnb believes themselves to be above regulatory bodies in all jurisdictions. When your cheap rental or ride goes sideways, don't expect the government to do something about it...you already cut them out of the loop. People need to look at how they are shooting themselves in the foot with this 'sharing' economy. Why pay for regulations only to have them not apply to your particular situation?

​Also, understand that the 'opportunity' to turn homes into income producing properties under the radar is a contributing factor to the obscene house prices in major urban centres.

There is a marked change in the colours overnight.  Even this waterfront is showing much more than yesterday.  It looks like the rain may hold off, and no high winds are in the forecast at this time, so there is a great chance that my prediction will come true, and the colours peak will be this weekend coming.

Also just in time for Thanksgiving, I am finally seeing substantial numbers of edible mushrooms fruiting.

People asked this past weekend about wild berries; the only thing still on the bushes is wild grape.  There are lots, as they have been slow to ripen.

Cabin availability:  the log cabins are booked, but the little frame cabin is still available.  If anyone can get out of the city this week, I have up until Saturday available in 2 log cabins.  I also have Sunday night and on from that available in one log cabin,  The weather is looking fab for this week from what I can see.

Anyone with trailers or RVs, I have serviced sites available for the entire weekend.  Also, anyone who loves camping and isn't afraid of cooler temperatures, you have lots of choice in the campground.  :-)

AND there have been a number of sightings of a moose cow in the reeds to the south of the waterfront in the last while.  I can't guarantee she will show herself; nature does what nature does.
