Canyon Park Cabin

I hear it every time I take a load of wood somewhere. There’s always a comment, a fond memory, at least a memory. It’s usually something to the effect, “yeah, Dad would take us out to the woods and we couldn’t leave until the truck was full”.

One that I remember, the Milwaukee Brewers were in the playoffs going for the American League Championship(that would be a loooong time ago, 1982) . I think that it was a Sunday afternoon and we had made plans to go and get some firewood. It was kind of a mistake, I wanted to listen to the game and at least get some updates. Dad not being much of a baseball fan couldn’t understand it and got a little upset with me. I’ll just leave it at that. When we got home that evening I found out that the Brewers would be in the World Series. I didn’t get to see any of those games either.

I still have fun going to the woods and getting firewood. I don’t really hunt or fish but you can count on “getting your limit” when your after firewood. There’s a sense of accomplishment, a commraderie, a good workout and creation of new memories.

To that end, Canyon Park will be holding a “woodcutter’s weekends”. Each day on the weekend we will work in the woods for a couple of hours in the morning, have a simple yet hardy lunch and then work for about four hours in the afternoon to early evening, which will be followed by a nice evening meal. Everyone that participates can take home (or have delivered) the wood they have worked on.

The cabin rooms will be available for rent, tenting will be possible and just being out for the day will work as well.

Let us know if you’d be interested!
