Signs of Spring

I have compiled a short list of what I believe to be sure signs that spring has finally arrived at Bosebuck Mountain Camps:
  1. You can now step over the remaining snow banks
  2. There is not enough snow to snowmobile safely
  3. The ice has finally given way and we have open water at the north end of the lake
  4. The loons have returned and are pleasantly calling to each other
  5. The pair of geese that like to call Bosebuck home have returned to make a mess of what little grass we have that isn't under water
  6. The front lawn and parking lot are completely under water
  7. The average temperature is above freezing even though there is still a chance of snow
  8. We have mud!

Our fishermen will begin arriving on Monday, May 9th and the dining room should be open to the public as well but call ahead just to be sure.

Parmachenee Road is in typical spring condition with some sunken culverts and washouts, but all in all not too bad.  Just take your time and plan on 45 minutes to an hour to travel into Bosebuck.  The road above camp had three feet of water flowing over it last week so it was not passable.  We do not have current conditions of the road above us or on the east side of the lake.
