This is going back to the late 30s / early 40s with what we just called "The Gas Boat". That's my Dad @ Stillers Landing waiting for guests to arrive. That was the end of the road @ that time. Water transport to MLPC was the only way.

I look forward to meeting some new friends and future guests! If you're interested and need more information about me or the camp, call me in the evening since I am usually outside all day, or better still, send me a list of questions via email. It will be a pleasure to answer your concerns and to talk to you. To have you stay at the camp as a guest and a friend would be my pleasure!
Your Future Host, Johnny M
P.S. Another added feature at the camp is Internet with free WiFi availability.
