Saturday, April 6, 2019 and we are officially opened for business. The first weekend was a hit. The weather was great, the water level was great, our new customers and friends were great! We couldn't have asked for any better. Looks like this thing just might work! My office buddy is ready for our first customers!
We refer to campsite 4 as the fishing spot. It's where our family likes to fish and just hang out by the water. Perry carved out a little trail and opened up a spot right under a large tree so you feel all nestled in. It's the furthest and most secluded campsite we have. I have a feeling it will stay booked up.
We knew we wanted outfitter signs, but when I found the kayaking one I knew we had to have it. It's just perfect!!
Looking down the trail into campsite 4.
Perry took Ben and Donna on a guided tour. They loved it too!

Abby hanging out at campsite 3.
Campsite 3 is probably the most popular site. With room to spread out, this site is made for larger groups or multiple families. It has easy access to the creek, a small field right in front and a nestled in the woods kind of feel. We've been camping here as a family for a few years now!
Perry did a lot of guided tours for family. Poor thing had a kayak so much. lol
Abby Hill paddled with us and I used this picture a lot for advertising.
Perry and Dave headed out to make sure the creek is clear of debris.
Ah. I can smell the fire from here. What a lovely spring we are having.
Our first official campers! This was a group of 8-10 year old boys celebrating a birthday party. They camped out here at campsite 3 and then got up the next morning to kayak. Now that's my kind of birthday party!
This is seriously my favorite thing about the outfitter. The lights are just heavenly!
The office greeter.
Helping Pop put out wood chips. Since Alabama Power was trimming along our road, Perry asked them to dump the wood chips in the field. They made wonderful covers for the paths and Perry even made a bridge out of them over the muddy spot on the trail.
Cool little chair Perry made from 2 pieces of wood that slide together.
One of our very first customers, Chris and Kristine Lay. Chris found this civil war dime down at the take out. He gave it to us to keep at the outfitter. The Lay family have become regulars!
This outfitter business is tiring!
EC and Ashton ready for their trip down Big Canoe Creek.
Perry took Ben, Donna, Brian, Dez, EC, Ashton, Abby and Emily down the creek.
EC's 2nd trip down the creek. She's hooked!
Benjamin ready to do some fishing!
EC loves to fish too!
Making sure they get their water intake.
Lots of rain came our way and we won't be able to send folks out today.
Hanging out in Carolyn's chair.
Normal water levels are back and we're ready to go out again.
Carolyn had to come over and teach Benjamin how to cast.
Loving these lights.
