New TP Holders

My boy's and I installed locking TP holders in the restrooms today. I know were under tough economic times but taking the rolls of TP from the rest rooms is really "Going" to far. We installed the holders in all of the stalls. One stall in the womens and the mens restroom has two holders. I hope this saves somebody the embarrassment of asking the guy or gal in the next for a few sheets.

4th of July

The 4th of July at Selkirk lake is a an awesome event. There are severel people on our end of the lake that have been entertaining us for several years with some huge Fire Works displays. You can take your boat onto the lake for an unobstructed view or just sit on shore or at the end of your dock for a front row seat to the magic. This years displays were once again spectacular starting around 9:30 PM and not ending until 11:00 PM. The Little secluded lake Geneva puts on a good show which is also visable from the east side of Selkirk lake. My boy's can't wait until next year. 4th of July at Selkirk Lake Video.

Water on

I took my sons Brock and Holden out to the lake to day to turn on the campground water. Once again we drove into rain on the way out. We hung out in the office having a picnic lunch waiting for the rain to pass. We only waited an hour for it to let up enough to start our mission. With Brock and Holdens help I was able to get the water on and the system bleached in record time. The lake level is now the highest i've seen it since the early 90's with more rain in the forcast for later this week we are sure to be at or near all time record water levels. Friday is May 1st so thats the first official day of camping. Happy camping

HIGH WATER

I went to the lake this afternoon to check on the lakes water level. I left Kalamazoo in a steady drizzle to drive into the middle of a down pour about 1 mile north of Plainwell. When I got to the lake I could see from 8th st that the water level was very high. I drove down to the lake shore where the lake was still covered by a thick layer of ice except about 10 feet from shore which was open because the lakes water level had risen at least 16 inches in the last few weeks. If we get much more rain or snow the water will be at a level not seen in 15 years. Like most residents of the lake we left our dock in the lake as we have for 25 years with little problems. The water was 24 inches below the dock last fall but is now 6 inches over. I'll raise it up this spring.
