“Where?” I asked Tami. “Where’s Fall?”
“All around us,” she said.
I couldn’t believe it was here already, so I took a little walk around the campground and look what I found!
From the tips of tree branches, down to the ground, color is peeking through everywhere. Acorns and pine cones plinked and plunked onto trailer roofs. One acorn even fell on my head! Ouch!
I swear a chipmunk laughed at me too.
Tami and I were going through the photos she took this summer, remembering all the wicked cool recreation we’d had and you know what we decided?
We have some well dressed campers!
Pink from her eyeglasses to her puddle jumpers!
I especially love the heeled shoes!
Ummm . . . I’d say these guys are more like . . . oddly dressed campers.
Oh! Guess what popped up in our campground in-box last week??
Mark Lippke sent a photo of his ‘catch-of-the-day’!! Isn’t it a beauty?
And the Chicoine’s sent in this photo
from our Labor Day Seasonal Dinner. Ed, who’d been seasonal with us for 17 years, has made 2009 his final year. Some of us are taking his announcement better than others . . . I think Tami’s on her 10th box of tissues . . .nope . . . make that 11 boxes after posting this!
If anyone else out there would like to share a photo from their stay with us, please feel free to contact us through the website!

Yeeeees, it’s been raining on my little campers this week. But it hasn’t stopped us from having fun! There were still plenty of swimmers
And lots of people out and about having fun
Debbie and Bryant never cancel their fun activities on account of a little rain. Or a lot of rain, either! They just move it all indoors!
Or they build boats to float in the puddles.
The fishermen have had a great time the last two weeks. The fish are reeeeally hungry!
Look at this beauty caught by Fred Becker!
3 1/2 lbs . . . 21 inches long . . . brown trout. Amazing.
The Lamoreau Family reported to Tami this morning that they’ve caught around a hundred fish during their week stay. Among their prizes were 2 2lb large mouth bass and a 4lb’er too. They also caught a Crappie, which I didn’t even know we had in Lower Range Pond. Oh – and pickerel too!
The baby eagle is sitting on the edge of the nest now. When he hollers for food, you can hear him all over the lake.
The Joyce family gave Tami this photo of the baby and adult. Isn’t it a good one! In no time at all, that baby will be flying.
We have tons of activities lined up for this coming week including a performance by B J Hickman on Sunday night and a science-y arts and craft lesson on how to make Exploding Lunch Bags with the Science Guy on Tuesday.
I can’t wait to explode lunch bags!
And guess what? The sun is trying wicked hard to shine through the clouds today! Cross your antlers . . . I mean your fingers . . . that it gets a chance to come out!

We hear an awful lot of fish stories here at Poland Spring Campground. In the office, at the lake, over a cup of morning coffee and around the crackling campfire, fisherman 6 to 96 love to tell tales of the one that got away!
Tami likes to tease, telling them that seeing is believing. And guess what? They brought her proof!
Those are some nice looking fish boys! Great job!
Dale and his wife Mary camped with us for a month this year. Whenever Dale goes missing, we know exactly where he is . . . out in the middle of the lake somewhere!
This year, he reported averaging three fish a day, catching 21 in the first two days alone!
His wife stopped counting half way through the month. She couldn’t keep up.
Don’t worry though, he assured me there’s plenty left for the rest of us!
Just ask his daughter,
And his grandson with his first fish!
A chip off the old block! Look at that smile . . .
Dale told Tami he mostly caught 12 – 14 inch bass.
That’s a beauty!
And last but not least, here’s one of the Emery boys with his supper
I hear tell they taste pretty good over the campfire, but I think I’ll stick with lily pads.

Another question I get asked a lot by potential campers:
How’s the fishin’?
I’ll let these pictures speak for themselves, most were taken within the last 3 years
If those aren’t enough to convince you to book a campsite with us, how about this:
brown trout have been released off our point for the last three years!
The truck backs up
Opens the tanks one by one
And lets them go!
Yep. The fishin’s good.
If you don’t believe me . . .
ask the eagle family.
