run some risks

---------------------

Note: This photograph was actually taken on September 26th at sunset.

It has been a remarkably successful season!  We still have a few weeks to go.  The old resort has held up very well and didn't surprise us with any major meltdowns. (knock on wood!)

Many thanks to all of our loyal returning guests and thanks to all of the new guests who discovered Dana's Lakeside Resort this year.

We already have 9 weeks completely booked for the summer of 2001 and only a handful of cabins available in the remaining weeks.  

Thanks again!  We couldn't do it without YOU!

There are only two weeks left until we temporarily shut down.  We'll be spending lots of quality time outdoors raking leaves and preparing for winter.  We will open again in November for the first week of firearm deer hunting season and then we'll close the resort until Walleye opener next May.

We'll be spending the winter reading, homeschooling, moving snow and making plans for 2001, with continued emphasis on improvements to the cabins, resort infrastructure and more amenities for quests.
