It couldn't be too lost, because we managed to find it last night after driving a little over an hour from the airport where we dropped Tim off. Went east and south on I-94 and then followed MapQuest instructions over many county roads - they weren't even US highways!
Ken and Melanie bought a "cabin" on East Lost Lake last year and it's a great place to enjoy the summer. Beautiful home with over 150 ft of lake frontage. Last night after we arrived, Ken and Melanie took us for a pontoon boat ride on the lake in the evening dusk (well, I guess dusk only comes in the evening, doesn't it?). Fun being out on lake just cruising around slowly. As Ken said, most boaters go slowly and drink the same way. We were able to catch a little of the sunset through the clouds.
This morning we got up to coffee on the patio deck - Ken was up a little earlier than I was. After coffee, we drove into a nearby town for breakfast. Ken and I walked around town after breakfast while Vi and Melanie went grocery shopping. On the way home, we went over to Phelp's Mill, an old flour mill with a lot of history behind it. Interesting to see how they used the power of the Otter Tail River to run the mill and see how it all operated. Always good to see history being preserved.
This afternoon Karen and Sharon came down with Gunnar and Derrick (two of Melissa's boys) and Michelle is due down with her boys later in the afternoon. About time for wine, so I'll close for now and write more later.
Wanted to send you some pictures of the cabin and lake view, so here they are:
