It is the middle of July and I feel that the summer is going too fast! Every season is different and presents its challenges and opportunities. I just got done reading an email for a customer who took her Grandchildren on the 3 hour trip where they experienced blue herons guiding their way, saw several…
We survived opening weekend with our new on-line booking software! Booking your trip needs to be easy and we think we found a new provider that is helping do just that. The liability waivers are easier to use and each renter had them done in advance on Saturday; thank you! Be sure to also check…
