A Campground For Everyone
I started camping as a young kid with my dad and my twin brother. We would backpack camp in Colorado, carrying all of our gear up a trail to find that perfect spot nestled among the pines, next to a stream, maybe on a bluff with a really great view. I continued this love of…
I drew a picture this morning during a meeting I was in. I felt my mind drifting and being pulled in the way of a dream. A question was posed, what is your 5-year plan? I started to dream a little. Not the big dreams that can get out of control and huge and amazing,…
I have this dream about building a campground that is openly welcoming to all folks. I have started this website, and I am writing these daily reflections to search for a community of like-minded individuals that would be interested in such an idea. I have been dreaming about different versions of campgrounds and container homes…
Good morning. Happy Monday to all out there. This is such a wild topic to think about. Looking back ten years, would anyone have been able to predict the crazy things that have happened in the world in the last ten years? I think that we can dream about where we would like to be,…
The goal of the Pine Lake Fishing Club is to create a safe space that is welcoming to all. Creating a campground and fishing club that also has a working farm aspect is the ultimate goal. When I think about this daily writing prompt, I immediately think about Kevin Costner’s character, Ray Kinsella, in Field…
I think the biggest adaptation post-pandemic is the ability to work anywhere now. The pandemic forced everyone to rethink the office setting and develop new and interesting ways to work remotely. Thinking back on that time seems like lifetimes ago. Drive-thru swabs, losing family members, isolation, fear, all of the things. It’s easy to think…
I think that a person’s uniqueness comes from a mix of personality, life experience, traits, and perspectives. A person’s personality makes them unique in the sense that they react to different situations with optimism or pessimism, introversion or extroversion, their emotional depth and humor style, etc. All of these combined make a person their true,…
If I could have something named after me, it would probably be a campground or a park. I have created this website and blog to try and share the idea of a campground that is openly welcoming to all, so why not have a future campground named after me? I would feel weird to have…
Good morning all. Another interesting thought for the day. I think that fear tends to make me say “no” to my goals. Fear can paralyze me at times from starting or continuing a project. I have been dreaming about this campground idea for a few years now, refining my vision about what I would like…
I really enjoy the weather towards the end of summer. The mornings that are dew-kissed, the days that seem to last forever. The temp gets warm, but not too hot, and there is a little crispness in the air, hinting at the coming fall. The evenings are long and a little damp with the humidity…
I wish that I could be outside more every day. Having a job behind a computer screen makes it kind of hard to get outdoors during the week. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I am able to take my laptop and get outside more often, which I am very much looking forward to.…
Thanks for watching and being here.

One word that describes me well is: Curious. I’ve always wanted to know how things work, what different music sounds like, what different foods taste like, what it feels like to create different types of art, etc. Lately, I have been learning about how to build tiny homes and container homes, how to sew new…

Good afternoon everyone! Welcome to the landing page for video number one from the Pine Lake Fishing Club. We wanted to create a quick video to explain some of the ideas we have been having and to get this conversation started. We can’t do this alone, and we are happily looking for feedback, suggestions, questions,…
