Subject: 8 pictures for you Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 09:09:28 -0400 From: "Mark Obbie" To: Martin (Your Adirondack Guide) Martin, Once again, the Obbie-Lane family spent a restful, memorable week at The Cabin. We appreciated the recent improvements (Nice grill! Thanks for the extra counter space in the kitchen. And the improved trail signs and blazes, while no longer necessary for us veterans, are a big plus for newcomers.) Mostly, we got what we crave: peace and quiet and all the sights and sounds (and lack of sounds) that we've come to love at your place after six visits. The berry picking was pretty good, but we envy those who will be there later in August (best patches are on West Path just below the rope ladder, in the Logging Camp, and on East Path below the Ebenezer path). The trails to Ebenezer (on both sides of the summit) are getting overgrown, but are well marked and worth the effort. Thanks for the honey -- it was wonderful -- and the biscuit mix. You were right, it was too hot to bake, but we did it anyway because the biscuits are too good to miss. Until next time... --Mark, Nancy, Rae, and Dale (and Shadow) Canandaigua, NY
More about their Fourpeaks visit: (An Email Exchange.) Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2005 04:25:20 -0800 From: mark@mar****** To: martin@4peaks.com Hello Martin, I hope you haven't forgotten us. We've never stopped thinking about Four Peaks. We moved from the NYC area last summer to a new home in the Finger Lakes, and it was just too crazy (and expensive) to take a vacation. This year we've put off making reservations until we were sure we could make it. We would like to reserve The Cabin for one week starting August 6. We will have our dog Shadow with us, along with our two children. Please let us know as soon as possible if we can have The Cabin then, and what kind of deposit you'll require. Thanks -- we look forward to seeing you. Mark Obbie and Nancy Lane Subject: The Cabin for one week Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 08:48:00 -0500 (EST) From:Martin@4peaks.com To: mark@mar*****.com Mark-- Thanks for your most welcome email. No. Of course I haven't forgotten. But I was worried. Very glad to hear you're ok. I'm fine (and happy). Divorce settled (finally). Look for reservation letter to follow. I'll recontact you again soon (traveling today). Best wishes, Martin Subject: Confirming Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 07:16:11 -0500 From: mark@mar****com To: martin@4peaks.com Hi Martin, We're looking forward to our upcoming visit to the Cabin. It's Saturday afternoon August 6 through Saturday morning August 13, correct? Just checking. We've had a tough summer, with too much work and too much sadness: my father died on July 5. He'd been ill with cancer for a long time -- his illness was a chief reason why we moved away from the NY City area to get back home -- but it doesn't make it any easier. We're looking forward to the quiet comforts of your beautiful property. We would like a sun shower, if you still lend them out. Let me know if you don’t and we’ll try to find one somewhere. See you soon. --Mark Obbie and Nancy Lane Subject: Re: Confirming Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 07:46:42 -0400 (EDT) From: Martin@4peaks.com To: mark@mark****.com Mark-- Thanks for your email. I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad. I can tell you, for me, that was the most serious loss I ever experienced. My Dad was my role model, my guide when I was young and my cheering section through it all. If you're like me, you'll just have to get used to doing it alone. Showers? Look at http://4peaks.com/fobath.htm The portable electric showers are an uptodate solution to bathing in the bush. I assure you, you'll never think of sunshower again. (I do have one in my shed and will find it for you, though.) Best wishes, Martin Subject: RE: Confirming Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 07:51:31 -0500 From: mark@mar***.com To: Martin@4peaks.com Thanks for the info about the new showers. They sound fine. And thanks for your comments about my dad, and yours.  Meet Our Guests at the Fourpeaks Photo Guest Book!A fun way to learn about our Adirondack backcountry vacations. Who came. Where they're from.
