So where are the boys stayin for tall Pines?
10/06/4 at 23:52:09

So.... this will be my 3rd time working tall pines, and i'm curious about this 'winterized cottage' idea.... not that I don't love Elmer's hunt camp... but I really do hate that outhouse!

So... is there any interest in getting a cottage? Is the drive to the cottage as fun as the drive to Elmers? I guess we'd hafta cook for ourselves.... breakfast at Elmers is always a delight.

I am hoping it is closer to town. Elmer is a wonderful host and it is a great drive, but when you are beat on Saturday night, after a long day of working, it is a bloody long drive. I might still stay at Elmer's though, the price is right!

Can't beat the value. Dibs on the big bed at the back!!! I can get my Golf down the driveway Ryan, no snivelling from you AWD guys.

Seems silly to have a beer tent after the event though.... maybe by then i'll have the 'G' license, and I can actually have a beer and not be illegial to drive. There's a big bed in the back????

There is a double in the back and being not a small gent, I prefer it. It is also furthest from the heat stove and I like it cool to sleep. Elmer puts on an unbelievable fire and the place is normally roasting.

I think I will pick up a few beverages to have at Elmer's. I would imagine the OPP knows about the beer tent. Shocked

Sounds like a plan.... i'd thought about it, but wasn't sure how Elmer would react to it.... maybe only bring a 6-pack
