Cody, Wyoming- January 29, 2008 Bruce and I got home last night from Cody, Wyoming. While in Cody we attended the Dude Ranchers Association convention. The members of this group are not a lot different from Minnesotas family owned resorts. We fish and they ride horses.The purpose of our trip was to find some jobs for the 500 foreign students we will be bringing in this summer for jobs across the U. S. Housekeeping and kitchen jobs are just as plentiful on a ranch as on a resort. We met some really nice people and found a...http://gunflintlodge.blogspot.com/2008/01/cody-wyoming.html (Untitled)- January 22, 2008 We are just finishing the January cold spell.

Tucker likes to just roll in the snow which doesnt appeal to me. He also seems fascinated by any stick in the woods. Now he is reduced to digging and...http://gunflintlodge.blogspot.com/2008/01/snow-flakes-keep-falling.html Happy New Year!- January 2, 2008 Happy New Year to all of you from all of us at Gunflint!Bruce and I had a great trip out east to celebrate Christmas.
