The summer lake house.


Shaffer Road entrance/driveway
 While very modest-looking from the entrance  (mom asks "honey, does the cabin have a coffee pot?"), this two level house overlooking Lost Bridge North is a beauty.   Hardwood floors, a large kitchen, great deck w/view and privacy all contribute to the rural feel.  

Since you might know I count things, here's "how I spent my summer vacation.":

17 visits (from Wichita, it's a 600 mile round-trip not counting running around while there, back and forth to Rogers, Garfield, Eureka Springs or the campgrounds), or an estimated 12,000 miles!!:

March 25 (closing), April 11,  20, May 3, 11, 24 (Memorial Day week), June 7, 21, July 3 (Fourth of July), 19, 26, August 16 (week), Aug 30-Sept 1 (Labor Day), Sept 6, Sept 13, 21 (week) and October 13 (week).

THATS A LOT OF MILES!  
Spread the trips among our trucks and vans, rental cars, once riding with family.

28 different guests: Derek  Rana, Kings, Morrisons, Maylene and Kevin, Roz and Bob, Schraders (total of 5), Pattie, YB, Beau and Brian, Jeanne, Amy, Lisa, Tash, Margaret, Shelley and Gina, Ron and Madeline....

THATS A LOT OF GUESTS!

Now it's time to turn it over to the caretakers for the winter, and settle in to wait for next spring and summer!
