More about a Fourpeaks Home Exchange. Born, bred and worked all my life in the city, it's tough to be stuck here in the boonies on retirement. Just lost my Jersey GF. Can't stay a lot with my Russian cousins in the Bronx. They feed me their stuff, and it's awkward getting off on my own. Ditto for staying with Murray and Iza. So I'm looking for a way to spend more time in the city on the cheap. Of course, I'd love to bring George, but I'll understand if your place is not dog-friendly. A kitchen would be handy as I like to cook and this would keep my costs down. But it's not essential, as I love exploring city restaurants. Just a few days (minimum), a week, even more if we can work it out. A house, an apartment, shared use, even just a room will do, as long as I'm not obligated to socialize beyond my capabilities. Plan your Fourpeaks getaway/vacation and let's talk "Home Exchange." 518-524-6726 any time. Thanks.
More about the Fourpeaks Work-Stay Program. I get workers locally for building maintenance (carpentry and plumbing) but there's always trail work and cleaning that needs doing. On the trails I need clearing deadfall, cutting back growth especially in sunny places, and remarking blazes. The camps need attention thorough-cleaning cooking stoves, washing floors and work surfaces, touch-up painting and caulking. Plan a week or more (Off-Peak period only, please) and let's talk about your "Work-Stay" Visit. 518-524-6726 any time. Thanks.[Have a sabbatical or writing project or nature retreat in mind? Talk to me about a long stay with room and board or other flexible arrangement.]

Subject: our stay at ridge camp Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2004 17:54:18 -0500 From: "Rea*** , Tim" TRear***@mapc.org To: Martin@4peaks.com Hello Martin, We missed you on the way out from Ridge Camp yesterday but I wanted to write and thank you for the wonderful time we had while staying at Four Peaks. We especially enjoyed: snowshoeing around your property among the scenery, views, and animal tracks; the fantastic sauna; the comfortable beds; the efficient wood stoves; and the wonderful quiet and beautiful night sky. Plus the biscuit mix and jam were delicious. A few practical matters we thought we might mention: -Due to the temperatures, we made a considerable dent in the pile of firewood down by the sauna. We split more than we used, however, and left a large stack of split wood inside the cabin as well as some out on the porch, for use by the next guests. If I have one suggestion for Ridge Camp, I would recommend a simple $5 tarp to cover the woodpile. I honestly do not mind hauling or splitting wood, but we really spent an inordinate amount of time digging the wood out from underneath the snow, dislodging it from the frozen ground, and rotating stacks of wet wood inside so that they would dry--all tasks that would be eliminated by the presence of a tarp. I do not feel I am being picky or delicate here, only practical. -You will need to equip the next guests with some newspaper for starting fires, as we used most of what was up there. -We brought our trash down with us, though we did leave some glass bottles in a box in the room behind the guest shed. There is also a bag of garbage from previous guests. -A couple of the propane lamps are in need of new mantles--I would have taken care of it, but could not find any mantles. -We found the kitchen to be very well equipped, though a new dish sponge might be in order. The spatula is operating at less than 100% efficiency as well. Martin, you have a wonderful piece of property and we feel fortunate to have been able to visit for a while. The experience was just what we were looking for--beautiful, rustic, and relaxing. We hope to come back some time--Flavia is already asking about your 'frequent flier' miles. Until then, be well.

Fuss-free arrival (check); biscuits (check); clean cabin (check); 24 hours out of car (check); hiking (check); rest, sounds, and romance (check). That makes over 1,000 points! Looks like we'll see you within the year! Thanks again, Tim __________________________________ Timothy W.

Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 16:28:31 -0500 (EST) From: "Your Adirondack Guide" Martin@4peaks.com To: Tim Rea***/Flavia_Gra** 1723 At: trea***@mapc.org 617/522-**** Tim--Thanks for being such good guests and for your notes. Have you got some photos to send for the webpage? See Guest Book at http://4peaks.com/fgstbndx.htm for examples. Just checked the computer count. You did score great! 1225FFF points minus 200 for complaining about the firewood. Total in your account, 1025FFF points, which you can use for for a 20% discount on any visits you make this year. Would love to have you back. See calendar at http://4peaks.com/f_adirondack_vacation_rental.htm and make some time. Thanks. Best wishes, Martin Member Lake Placid/Essex County Visitors Bureau Subject: Will you see us within the year? Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 19:32:15 -0500 From: "Rea***, Tim" TRea****@mapc.org To: "'VisitUs@4peaks.com'" Martin, Glad to hear your algorithm confirmed our over-1000 score, but I did notice a 200 point deduction for "complaining about the firewood." Not that the points matter so much, but I really must assume that this is only jocularity and fun. I simply refuse to believe that a camp host would take such a well-meaning and well-informed comment, dismiss it out of hand, and imply to the capable and otherwise exemplary guest that the ONE THING that was sincerely frustrating about the visit--a problem that, as any cub scout knows, can be and ought to be remedied with a $5 tarp--did not merit careful consideration, or even gracious acknowledgement. Please assure me that our comments were received with more respect than was implied, and we will be sure to see you again sometime soon. Thanks, Tim P.S. Courtney and Jay have the digital photos. I will inquire with them about a guest page submittal. Subject: this is only jocularity and fun Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 21:09:55 -0500 (EST) From: "Your Adirondack Guide" Martin@4peaks.com To: "Rea***, Tim" TRear***@mapc.org Tim-- You're a fine guest and I hope that you'll make it here again (and again). Yes. The algorithm and the whole FFF point system are my idea of fun. Few guests make it here that don't fit pretty well with what I offer. I'll get some tarp scraps up to Ridge and cover them next year. The old tarps just wore or or blew away. Not sure. I'd appreciate getting the photos. I need some fresh stuff. I hope they include photos of activites and people. Thanks. Best wishes, Martin
