Next time you visit us, grab a mug from the kitchen (a pot’s always ready by 6 am) – and sneak down to this spot to catch the sunrise. Not a proper “deck” (cobbled together from an BSA cabin platform deck) – But still holds up just fine for watching the lake wake up.
The Catholic church ran this place from 1961 until we took over a dozen years ago… we’re still finding remnants of their era in all hidden corners, most often (and no surprise) crucifixes. #PreserveThePast
New season. New pier. (Lots of updates & restoration projects in the works this year) feels good to start getting ahead a little. #LongRoadAhead photo by @richardoriginal

1971: David, at the Camp Wandawega dock. We found this very same little orange canvas lifevest in the basement when we took over camp – and then David’s mom dug up this old photo. It fits Charliegirl perfectly now… She’s the spitting image of her dad, so today we’re going to reshoot this portrait, in this same spot. #LikeFatherLikeDaughter
Good morning, sunshine. Something very special (and secret) is happening here today. The most exciting +happy thing to happen here (since our wedding over a decade ago). We can’t tell you what it is for another month– but what we can share is that it’s been over a year in the making with a very big, dedicated, special team who create with their hands & hearts. Stay tuned by our friend @richardoriginal #Grateful. #TinyHousesOfWandawega
Two of the 3 loves of my life. Thank you, @thiswildidea for capturing this moment– and @huffingtonpost for sharing the story of how we found a forever home in each other when we adopted the dog nobody wanted (Story on profile link.) #BestFriends
David’s finally bringing his mistress to camp. // for the @uralmotorcycles x Wandawega bike rally launch next wknd. A 1929 B-class streetrod, that we unearthed from a barn before Charlie was born (back when we still had time to play). When dad was a reckless teen, he raced against her (and always lost… and always wanted to buy her someday) When the 1st owner died young, she was abandoned in that barn for the next 50 yrs – until a few years ago– we pulled her out of slumber and put her back on the track (& always take a spin for dad) story on FordCHEATERdotcom #GetReady
