10-22-13 The backhoe & the sunset

Late in the afternoon on Tuesday, the backhoe was delivered to the resort by Swenson & Sons Construction who will be digging the footings for the cabin. The footings for the cabin will be dug tomorrow! Yeah! We’ve never been able to take a sunset picture here before. Sunset minus cabin #9! Tomorrow is going […]

Moving day at cabin #9

In the off season, one of the traditions we have at Dickerson’s Resort is to make donuts when someone helps us with a project. Marcus Building Movers have raised Cabins #7, 10 & 12 and had donuts. The tradition must continue! Sunday night , October 20th Bob talked to Eric Marcus to see if they […]

Full moon setting across Lake Florida

We’re a “little nutty” at Lake Florida!

We are very fortunate to have many trees at the resort to provide shade for the cabins. With each tree there is always a nut or seed that falls needing clean up! Many, many years ago, Bob’s grandfather brought a Black Walnut Tree in a coffee can from Lucan, Minnesota  where he was from and […]

The last sunset in September

It’s hard to believe it is the last day of September. I quickly took this picture. I didn’t think the sunset was going to be spectacular. These last pictures are taken from the deck of cabin #8 God gave us a beautiful sunset that went on for at least 55 minutes! Wish there would have […]

The end of another vacation season at Dickerson’s Resort

The beach & water were the place for much of the activity.  Everyone had fun using the kayaks, hydrobikes, canoe, paddleboat and swimming as well as riding bicycles and tricycles. Julia […]
