Nisswa

I also worked here for a summer. My Grandmother was the camp director at Camp Lake Hugo for girls while my grandfather was a POW in WWII and she kept close ties with the owner. It was only for this reason that I was hired at the age of 16, headed out west from Boston and worked as a chambermaid (yuk) fell in love with one of the cooks (hot dog) and tried to quit high-school so that we could live together in the woods. Sometimes I forget how hopeful and crushingly romantic it was.

I worked at Grand View Lodge on Gull Lake which is in the small town of Nisswa, over the summer. Plus my aunt has a cabin on Gull, as well. It was the best summer of my life. I met so many awesome people and had the best time ever. It’s so beautiful there.
