August 1
On our arrival, we were welcomed whole heartily by Tami & Murphy. Our stay here was wonderful. The Jester is very quiet and cozy. We rented a boat for a day. Only a few small fish 🙁 but was well worth the sightseeing. Randy & Mike fished next to the trestle. One day we traveled to Greenville. Went to the B-52 site. Two moose spotted ❗ ❗ Unfortunately we did try to make our way to Pittston Farm-the middle of 20 mile road is in bad shape. Almost impassible. Our last day we took a ride to St Georges Canada. Beautiful scenery and another moose just outside of Jackman. Randy, Miky and myself just want to say Thanks to Tammi Steve and Murphy for being gracious host and we sincerely thank you. Randy-s favorite saying this week. “I LOVE THIS PLACE, I DON-T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ❗ ❗ “
Thanks from Mike Vikki and Randy from Hubbardston MA Cabin #1
PS The SCHMOOSES was a great place to eat great food, great hospitality. Give them a try.

Bucky Lewis second show in Jackman
Bucky Lewis made his second visit to Jackman this weekend and the show was even better. Some things were the same but being in a more intimate environment, plus being at a pub, made it all more fun. Below is a little collage I made of the show. Great fun!
Jackman Weather 8-21-09
I almost wish the rains would come. It is about 80 out here with the humidity at 90%…whew! Even Murphy is too hot to move around.
ATV Rodeo and Comedy Show
Even though the last post I said I hope it would rain, I hope that it does not during the day tomorrow.
he Border Riders Club is sponsoring their annual ATV Rodeo at the clubhouse. Already, lots of quads in town.
Then tomorrow night is the Bucky Lewis Comedy show at Hillcrest sponsored by the Jackman Region Chamber of Commerce. Bucky was here in February and although it is definitely an adult show, we laughed the whole night. This time, we will be able to have some spirits along with the show 🙂
Fun-filled day ❗

2009 3rd Annual Luau
Another successful August Luau tonight by some of our guests.
Sailing on Big Wood Lake
There is always some kind of breeze on Big Wood, so I am not sure why it is not very common to see sailboats on the lake here.
You can see this sail boat on video also at Murphy-s Video page.
2009 Aerial View of Cozy Cove
One of our guests last week is the photo nut for the group (so I was told) and he made me a copy of some of the images they got doing a float plane ride with Steve Coleman service. This is one of them that I cropped down a little.
Thanks Norm.
No humidity in Jackman
Down in Skowhegan this morning about 9am is was so HUMID-I wish I knew what the temp and humidity was. The air felt thick and hazy. But as I drove home,up 201, I could feel the air getting cooler and the skies bluer.
SO now, it is about 1PM and the sun is out, the skies are clear (scattered white clouds) and although warm out, it does not feel humid at all.
Now, if you go to Bishops Store-s Weather station, it is posted as 65 with humidity at 92ish%. 😕 Why is that? Probably because that is in town, a lot of pavement, and not on the lake. I am so glad we are here ❗
