Wednesday morning before 8:00, Wade & Greg arrived to start digging the footings for cabin #9. Digging the footings in an existing cabin is a little more work than starting from scratch. There are water, electric, propane and sewer lines below and around the cabin that all need to be watched and gently moved during […]

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.

On October 8th Bob told me that Garvin or Eric Marcus of Marcus Building Movers would be here on Thursday to talk about lifting cabin #9! Sure enough, Eric showed up on Thursday at 4:35 and said they could be here on Monday or Tuesday! We have a lot of work to do! I immediately […]

At the end of a full day working around the resort it’s nice to end the day with a beautiful sunset! Here it is from beginning to end! The very end! We’d love to share our Lake Florida sunsets with you in person. Make your plans now for a 2014 vacation at Dickerson’s Resort! […]
We’re a “little nutty” at Lake Florida!
November 6, 2013 by
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 […]
5-16 Lake Florida Sunset
June 12, 2013 by
The thing we like best about the ice being off of Lake Florida is seeing the reflections in the water. Tonight we had another great sunset! This is a sure sign of spring-the leaves are coming out on the trees! 🙂 Come watch the sunsets with us!
May 11-the Fishing Opener
June 11, 2013 by
It’s May 11, 2013, the day of the Governor’s Fishing Opener which is being held in the Park Rapids area this year. They are scrambling up north because many of the lakes haven’t lost their ice yet!I I was on my way into Willmar and just had to go back and take this picture. This […]
2 Loons at sunset
June 11, 2013 by
Just in the nick of time, a few clouds parted and we got to see that the sun really is there. 2 loons came to visit and sing to us. You can barely see them in the pink on Lake Florida. Life on the lake is great!
5-8 Leaky waders!
June 10, 2013 by
Having the ice go off of Lake Florida is one of the best signs of spring. This year, we have waited & waited & waited! Putting in the docks is an exciting time too. Being able to walk out and look at the beatiful water is so much fun. We have to wait for […]
5-7 A beautiful day at Dickerson’s!
June 2, 2013 by
We woke up this morning in great anticipation that the ice would be gone from Lake Florida. It was not, but we think “today is the day!” There are many flowers still to be planted and with the sun shining it is a beautiful day to do it! This is a picture from the hill […]
