What I found at 4 Peaks was the perfect combination of wilderness and a
sense of security. My goal was isolation for a few days, but I didn't own
any camping equipment, and frankly, I didn't have a clue where to camp where
I would not be in any danger from wildlife, passersby or the law for
tresspassing.....and I loathe those campgrounds full of RV's!
Your accommodations were charming and I never had that "what did I get
myself into???" feeling.
Thanks again,
Barbara

Dear Martin,
Thanks so much for your hospitality at New Camp.......that was really
nice of you to play Milkman.....and you were right, the bisquits were
delicious! Of course, I ate way too many!

I wanted to say goodbye, but it looked as if you were either meditating
or asleep, and either way I didn't want to disturb you. George,
however, allowed me to indulge in some serious petting!

By the way, Wednesday morning I hiked up Rattlesnake, and you were right
about that, too. It was spectacular!

I was amazed by the colors of the fungi in the forest, and I am
attaching some of my favorite Fungus Fotos.

Thanks again,
Barbara Rocker

Barbara--
Thanks for your most welcome email.
The photos are terrific! Have you more to share and maybe
others of interest about your stay at New Camp? I would
love to make a webpage for you. See examples of Guest Web
pages at http://4peaks.com/fgstbndx.htm Some of your really
fine photos would make a great addition and would be a nice
memento of your visit. Please try and send some (8 more or
so). What sort of camera were you using?
I'm happy you liked the biscuits plus got to see the view
from Rattlesnake. It's quite a sight!
Come back next year. Discounts apply. See http://4peaks.com/fgift.htm
Your milkman,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Let's see. New camp was lovely, and I only have two suggestions:
~First would be screen doors. It was actually very dark inside, and
being able to leave the doors open (without inviting unwanted flies)
would have been excellent.
~Second would be to have had one of the shelves left empty so I had room
for the books and supplies that I brought.
All in all, I found it a very charming cabin, and I really enjoyed
staying in it. I think, however, that next time I would want to go
farther out....Wolf's Nest or Ridge Camp. I wasn't expecting my cabin
to be so close to everything (the road, the roofers, etc.) my goal was
isolation.
I have lots more pictures, and I would be delighted to have a page at
your site, but how large a format do you want them in? I took them in a
6 meg format, but the ones I sent you were scaled down in Photoshop to
fit an email. I was shooting in ISO 800 (to get that fast shutter
speed) but I was not happy with the graininess of some of the
photos.....back to the manual!
Thanks again for your hospitality. I enjoyed my stay, and would
certainly consider staying with you again.
Barbara Rocker

Barbara--
I'm happy to hear from you and that you'll send
more photos.
The size you sent (656x492 pixels) are fine for
email and of course for the webpage. If the
photos are of plants I hope you'll identify them.
Send lots please and include at least one of you
and some of the camp. Thanks.
Yes. Next visit do Wolf (or Ridge). That's really
quiet. But I'll still bring milk or anything else
if you need it.
I like your suggestion about screen doors. I
think one could work for the back door as the
door can stay open against the bookcase. I'll see.
Best wishes,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Wow, reliving my few days through the web page made me want to run away
from hot, humid Florida forever! You did a great job. Thanks. And
thanks again for your hospitality.

Please Rate Our Fourpeaks Website. Whether you're an experienced webmaster or just a novice surfer, you may have feedback or suggestions to help us improve. 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.
Your comments or suggestions will be equally appreciated.
