Force of Nature – EPA approved for Covid

Force of Nature – EPA approved for Covid
Green cleaning (using non-toxic solutions) is a big deal here at Crow Wing Crest Lodge, and has been since day one of our ownership, over 20 years ago.  When Covid-19 struck in March 2020, like most of us, I felt confused, anxious, afraid (not only for our personal health and for those we knew and…

Extreme protection outdoors

Extreme protection outdoors
May 3, 2020.  Apparently, my family had to let off a little steam yesterday.  This is what happens when I don't keep track of 'em.  (This was my son-in-law Ryan's project.  With a little help from his wife, my step-daughter, Emily.   Ava, the subject in clip, is our 15-year-old granddaughter.) I haven't refound my own…

Oh my gosh, this will be our 20th season at CWC – where does the time go? It seems like yesterday we were touring the resort in the muffled silence of February 2001, not even able to get into some of the cabins because of drifts. This magical place immediately welcomed us and felt like…

Emptiness – goodbye to old Cabin #4

Emptiness – goodbye to old Cabin #4
(Written as a daily write for a writing class February 2020.) I thought it would seem bigger when it was empty.  It didn't.  It felt small and crooked and way past its expiration date.  We shut down reservations on old Cabin #4 last Labor Day weekend and moved furniture out.  Then 'Lil Chris (one of…
