I swung by there quickly about 8 or so years ago and haven't been able to get back. And I haven't actually vacationed there since Rolf and Jan sold the place. I have always promised myself that I'll get back there for a week or two. It's even harder now that I'm in Chicago. Maybe finally this summer.Crumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426764871137935046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641284412544285211.post-90303587828572037652009-10-21T22:08:32.531-05:002009-10-21T22:08:32.531-05:00I've been going to Brynilsen's (camp) sinc...I've been going to Brynilsen's (camp) since 1965 when I was a baby. Now I bring my kids. Still one TV in the hotel kitchen and one phone. Cell phone service requires borrowing the one person at camp's phone that works, standing at the end of the dock on one leg pointed toward the island. We still swim, hike, drink, sit and read and eat donuts. You'll be happy to know -- no internet cafe (although there is one in Old Forge).viking villagernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3641284412544285211.post-65542426166637519912009-06-04T12:54:29.856-05:002009-06-04T12:54:29.856-05:00I agree 100 percent.

I lived without one for 36 years!<br /><br />The problem with today's technology is that not only are you connected to everything, but everything is connected to you.Chris Othichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749643560107203860noreply@blogger.com
