Does anybody read this?

It seems to me, from what I can determine from Google's blog diagnostics, that perhaps I am blogging to only a handful of people. If so, there probably is no reason to continue.
If you read the blog, could you drop me a comment saying so? You don't have to leave your name, if you don't want. Thanks.

Hi Dan,
Yes, I check out your blog weekly & enjoy it immensely! We were at BN in August while you were building, but didn't get a chance to stop over. Going in June with 8 family members, August with 7 & might increase to 10, & lastly September with just Cheri & myself. Cheri has promised to guide me on that trip! Just had a right hip replaced, so still on the mend. We hope you & Brenda are doing great. Brian & Joanne are taking good care of us as you can tell from us booking 3 trips to BN.
Take care,
Rex & Cheri Thorne

Thank you, everybody! I only just posted this and already four of you wrote in. There must actually be a bunch who read the blog. As I suspected, the Google diagnostic tool isn't correct. On the old Bow Narrows Blog I had a different counter but never installed it on the Ain't Life Wild site. OK, I'll keep going. Thank you all for taking the time to write. Dan

Dan, I check you blog every day of the week. I am ready to book a second fishing trip for 2020 and considering Bow Narrows and hope to meet you and thank you for your blog personally. (Yes I know you don't run it any longer but I can troll by your new lake house and see the progress you are making)

Been reading it for years. Lot's of great information on fishing and nature. Look forward to see what you've captured on the trail cams. When you don't post, it's a sad day:)

Been following your blog since 2014 when I fished Red Lake for the first time and happened to boat by Bow Narrows during that trip. Looked up the lodge and found your blog. Love your nature and wildlife postings, but the history you have provided on Red Lake has been my favorite ones over the years. Keep on blogging.....you can only cut so much firewood to fill that new shed...LOL.

Rex, you sure have a lot of fishing planned this summer! We intend to be at the cabin site most of the time so make sure you stop in. Good luck on the hip replacement recovery. We agree with you that Brian and Joanne are doing a great job at the camp. We couldn't be happier that it was them that took over.

Don't stop writing Dan! You're information is so interesting. Always makes me think! Keep on keeping on! Thanks

Kim Gross said...

You should bring some copies of your book to the cabin site this summer. I bet you'd sell a bunch of them!

I read weekly.

Dan, Andrew and I continue to follow your blog -- we are hoping to see you in one of the upcoming summers at Red Lake...

Dan, I do check out your blog quite often. I seldom make a comment so, if a comment is required to log in the "blog head count", it's missing me.
I do enjoy reading your blogs very much and always enjoy seeing the pictures of your part of the "wilderness". The wildlife photos are great and I often save them to my photo file, sometimes do edits and, sometimes, print them. I don't see lynx everyday walking in MY backyard so it's exciting to me see the photos.
I especially enjoy reading your accounts of your life experiences in the wild and live them with you vicariously!
Speaking of reading your stories when is the next chapter of your book expected to be published? I printed the first chapter and am waiting to add to my FREE book.
Hope to see you in July! My best to you and Brenda!

I had a close friend who has since passed that used to visit your lodge. We shared a love for the outdoors, nature and fishing trips to the north woods. He mentioned your blog and for many years I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your writings, documenting of nature and the local wildlife and your stories of times past.
