Motel History

 When Mr. and Mrs. Christy first started in 1957 they rented rooms in a big house that was in the front yard where the pool is now.  The first motel units Mr. Christy built was what are now rooms 3 to 7.  Rooms 1 and 2 started out as a Hemmer Cottage that he bought and moved to the location they are now.  Next they built the office/ house in the middle of the motel.  Then they added units 8 to 10 and the last units they built where 11 to 14 in the late 70's.  They started and ran the motel for 32 years.  I bought it in 1989 and I think it was 1991 I lifted the roof and added the eff. unit above rooms 1 and 2.  In 1996 I added rooms 15 to 18 and since then have remolded all of the rooms Christy's built. My daughter Chelsea will be running the motel this summer and I plan on stepping aside very soon.

It's gone...........

The last of the ice base at the covered bridge will be gone today and the base at the trail cam is going fast also.  The snow that is left out in the woods will be going fast over the next week.

What a ride...........

 Check out this video and the tire gets in another hit before it's over.

Runaway Tire

Went away fast.............

 We have a dusting to an inch of new snow on Thursday morning and it looked nice.  But it didn't stick around long and by midafternoon we had the ugly stuff back.

Short time............

 For a short time Tuesday morning it looked like a winter wonderland.  But it wasn't long before the sun melted away the fresh coating of snow and it was ugly again.

I hear her.............

 You know the old saying, it's not over till you hear the lady singing.  Well let's just say she is singing loud.  The last two days have taken us from great springtime conditions to no conditions.    Thanks to everyone for watching this year again.  With nothing to report on I'll be taking a break.  But check in from time to time as you never know when I might post on something.
