NEWS OF THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU
Fall is nearly upon us - there are
already dogwoods turning colors and displaying their red berries. This
is our busiest time, as most guests want to enjoy the breathtaking
views of the woodlands in their many hues of red, yellow and green, so
make sure you book early.
Take in the view of the valley at East Rim Overlook - the hillsides down into the gorge are just one mass of

dazzling colors or enjoy the full panorama at the top of Twin Arches.
This is the time of the year for all your outdoor activities -the
insects are gone, the days are sunny with temperatures around 65-70,
there is no humidity and the nights are cool.
This is also the time of the year when we have fantastic sunsets - this photo was taken in front of the Lodge.
FULL PAGE ARTICLE IN TRAIL RIDER
In Spring, Garth Rumsmoke visited the campgrounds and accommodations
for people trail riding in Big South Fork. We are very proud of his
article about Wildwood Lodge in the September/October 2008 edition. We
were delighted that he chose to feature us in this very popular
magazine.
WIRELESS DSL INTERNET ACCESS FOR GUESTS
We are happy to announce that we have a wireless
access point for guests in the Guests' sitting room. Now, whilst we
know
that most of our guests are here to "getaway", we realize that there
are some who can't get by without their daily WWW fix. And we do
understand that our guests here on business are not even allowed to get
away...
GUEST BOOK
We have an on line
guest
book. We and future guests
will be pleased to receive your comments after your stay.
JULIA'S NATURAL ART PIECES

Julia
spices her hikes with Flo (the dog) by collecting lovely natural
artifacts - at the right time of the year, her pockets are full of
Zip locks and her "finds". She carefully cures and hoards these until
winter halts any outdoor activity. Then she lovingly creates her craft
pieces out of all the beautiful things that Nature provides at Big
South Fork such as fungi, seed heads, shells, buds, insects,
butterflies...
Most of the bedrooms have samples on the walls and now, by popular
demand, we have hung pieces for sale on the wall of the upper corridor.
As most of you, we are trying to plan our future so we have started the
Senile Sisters' Souvenirs Shop to build up our assisted living
fund! You will find in the lobby the fruit of our labor
during
the bitter cold winter days -enjoy!
VIDEO LIBRARY
All of the rooms and cabins are equipped with VCRs. We have
built
a large video library so that you will have a great choice of movies if
you want to borrow them from the Lodge. Some rooms and cabins have a
DVD player as well.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT INSPECTION
The latest Inspection on April 15 2011 resulted in a 98% score! We
are
happy that outside controllers
confirm the efforts we make to provide you with a clean and healthy
place for you to stay.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE AREA
Wildwood Lodge displays photographs of the natural wonders
of Big South Fork and Pickett State Park. Our guests include
