Hi Martin and George!

I wanted to let you know that I will be sending pictures probably this
week or next. They came out great! Just like the whole experience. New
Camp was the perfect place for us, and we liked being by your cabin too! We
will be coming back hopefully in the fall again. Mike and I are really
hoping to make it there twice a year, even if it means taking unpaid
vacation time. I have never been so relaxed and we felt like we could have
stayed there forever without a care in the world. Asia had a blast with
George, and so did we. You are a lucky owner! And what a perfect life for
any dog.
The hikes were amazing, the views were phenonmenal, and it truly
was a huge playground for any nature lover. Oh, we wanted to let you know
that there was no rope at the rope pull. We didn't need it or anything, but
just wanted to let you know. Maybe that hungry bear we heard got a hold of
it. :) Anyways, we are so happy to have found you and your 700 acres of
heaven on earth. And it is so good to know that there are still people like
you in the world, keeping land and nature's beauty the way it should be!
The biscuits and jam were a great little touch! Did you actually make that
jam? It was delicious! We stayed perfectly warm the whole time, that is,
once I showed Mike how to start a fire. ;) Oh, and sorry for all the dog
barking that one morning. I think Asia was a little confused by the echo
she was hearing from her own bark. She thought something was barking back
at her for hours, but boy did we get a good laugh. I'm glad you enjoyed the
dinner too. We'll make a habit of it every time we come. If it's okay with
you! Cooking there was a blast. I think I just enjoyed the feeling of not
having to rush. We were suprised how clean we stayed too. We honestly had
the time of our lives and will be back as often as possible. My birthday
was that Sunday we arrived. That was my present from Mike this year, and I
think it will be the best one I ever get! Peaceful, relaxing, fun, and
memories that will last us a life time! We absolutely LOVE 4peaks! Thank
you so much, Martin! And hopefully we'll see you in the fall!
All our gratitude - Leah, Mike, and Asia
P.S. Give George a biscuit from us. I think Asia really misses him too,
she's been kind of strange since we got home. Kind of a couch potato, which
she's usually just a big muscular ball of energy. Home just doesn't compare
to 4peaks for a dog. Us either honestly. Hope your helpers get the new
trail in shape. We're looking forward to the new hike. This time, we'll do
our best to stay ON the trails. :) Thanks again!

Leah--
Thanks for your most welcome and appreciative letter.
You should know that I appreciate having guests like you. I got
this land years ago for just like the kind of getaway which I
think you and Mike experienced. If you like I'll tell you about
how it happened when you visit again. I may even have some
early cabin photos for the webpage.
Yes. Please send lots of photos from your visit (more so I can
pick and choose).
Best wishes,
Martin
PS Yes I do all the jam. Ready to make another batch this year
as soon as the apples are in.

Martin,
We would love to hear all about how it happened. We had so many questions
for you about the place and you and the history, but just ran out of time.
So definitely when we return, we'd love to hear all kinds of stories!
Hopefully it will be soon! Thanks again - Leah

Martin--
Here are the pictures. Sorry it took so long, but better late than
never, right? They are in sections & some of them say things on
the back. Again thank you for a most wonderful time. We'll be back
as soon as possible. Hope you like the photos. Some seem to have
not come out for some reason, so there are not as many as I
thought there would be, but the ones that came out are still
beautiful. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Leah, Mike & Asia

We well remember the visitor a year or so ago who complained about the unpleasant glare from the HTML default royal blue links. That lead us to entirely revamp our background and link colors, making them softer, more eye pleasing. And the Florida expert who warned us about frustrating visitors with blind links. We followed his advice and now carefully identify each link so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to.
