Autumn Fun

The Cascade Lodge and Solbakken Resort crew had their end of the summer staff party on Sunday the 14th. It was a way to celebrate another successful summer of 08’ and usher in the fall color season. We also wanted to thank the summer students for all their hard work housekeeping and in the restaurant. The party began at Golf N’ Stuff miniature golf course in Grand Marais. Groups of 4 went out and had a blast. Even little Marshall got in on the action with his mini putter. The leader board went Skip, Michael Sr., Matt, and Michael Jr. After golf, anyone who wanted to try the climbing wall raced up the tree against one another. Young Ben and Sam probably did the best out of the whole group. The party concluded with a staff BBQ and Ice Cream Social that was very well attended. The food was excellent and the desserts were highlighted by Sonja’s homemade blueberry pie! The fall color season is underway back along the ridgeline with the maples just starting to turn their fiery red hue. Soon, leaf peepers by the thousands will descend upon the area to tour the magnificent display! In other outdoor news, the salmon have just started to run up into the Cascade River. Michael Sr. and Jr. tried their luck last night and returned with no supper. Oh well, better luck next time guys and remember persistence counts!
