Broken Paddle Lots for sale

FINALLY!

After jumping through hoop after bureaucratic hoop... (the developers, not me....lol)

I have been informed that the newest lots at Broken paddle are now available for purchase. A little birdie told me the asking price is $55,000.00 each. They are all a 1/2 acre in size and well back from the lake. As a matter of fact, unless I am mistaken, the lake cannot be seen at all from any of these lots. They had a waiting list of purchasers that they are now contacting to see who, after all these years (that would be several), are still interested in purchasing these lots. Those people, as I understand it, have first kick at the cat so to speak. Time will tell if any are still up for grabs.

I will post more info on this as I get the details.

I'm a fisherman

I'm a fisherman and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I fish all day
(He's a fisherman and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he fishes all day)
I catch some fish, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavat'ry
On Wednesdays I go quadding
And have battered fish for tea
(He catches fish...)
(He's a fisherman...)
I catch some fish, I flip and bump
I love to cast my lures
I put on protective clothing
And hang around sand bars
(He catches fish...)
(He's a fisherman...)
I catch some fish, I love my reels
Tackle and my rods
I wish I'd been a newfie
When there was still lots of cod
(He catches fish...)
(He's a fisherman...)

My apologies to Monty Python

I hate this time of year. Can't get the boat in the lake and the ice is too thin for my liking.

Lake Lots

UPDATE: 11/02/2009... Anyone?... Anyone at all? Come on off it. Someone out there has to know something... anything at all. Tid bit? Tim bit? Morsel? Crumb? Smidgen? Help us out here. And please, don't make me beg... oh wait....

I have received a couple emails of late asking me about the availability of lots at Fawcett Lake. Although it is my second home, I don't keep up with all the goings on or the politics. I know that there are lots at Broken Paddle that should be for sale but have been held up by the county for one reason after another. Anyone know what the latest is on this?

Anyone out here that can inform us as to what the status is at Fawcett Lake Resort and how their "renovation" is going and when they will be back up and running?

Are there any year round lots available for next spring at The Anchor Inn over at the west end of the lake?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

If you can answer these and many other questions regarding Fawcett Lake.... simply click on the "Tall tales (your comments)" and let us know. If that does not work for you, you can always email me at ... fawcettlake at gmail.com and I will post the information here in the near future.

Thanking you all for you help in advance

Tim

The ground is white, the roads are icy in spots.

Oh and....

Happy Thanks Giving Day!

And the poll says...

With only twenty votes recorded. Our little fishing poll revealed that most of you would rather keep smaller walleye than is currently required by law on Fawcett Lake. This tells me that the average reader here is smarter than the Alberta fish and wildlife biologists that make the laws. They are the silly folks who are forcing us that enjoy a meal of walleye every now and again to eat the breeders in the lake. This makes no sense whatsoever! Give yourselves a big pat on the back. Hopefully the law makers will give their heads a shake and make the right choice for next year and many more after that. Welcome to the 21st century Alberta fish and wildlife.

It's Friday, and you know what that means

See you on the fish side. Oops did I say fish?... I meant Flip. Have a great weekend!
