Home for rent - enjoy the tranquility, wildlife, and beautiful sunsets from this two-bedroom, one bath cottage on East Fork Lake. Wave at the boaters from your shared private dock or screened-in porch. Smile as you look across the lake at your neighbors in their million dollar homes, knowing that you're enjoying the same views for only $1,000 per month.
You don't have to mow the yard, shovel the driveway, or even pay a water or trash bill... we do all that for you!
We have a very low turnover, so this is a rare opportunity to have your own retreat on the largest lake around. Act fast, as these are usually spoken for as soon as they become available.

Tonight, the "Fantastic Four" showed up and we've had to start thinking about alternative names.

"Fantastic Fifteen"?

There's quite an ongoing drama at the lake!

For at least the last two weeks, a group of four geese (3 whites and one brown/white) have laid claim to the territory of Northern Goose Point. While there's quite a bit to say about each of the individual in this gang, which is known as the "Fantastic Four", they all seem to get along well with each other.

That feeling does not extend to outsiders, such as the lone Canadian who has been stalking them since before the eclipse. While every other goose who gets near is chased away, never to return, this one is different. He's always in the area, watching them, and hoping they'll let him join. But as much as he tries, they always refute him, honking and hissing whenever he tried gets too close. Clearly, they want no part of this troublemaker! Why doesn't he just go with his own kind?

How long will this go on? Nobody knows. Is this a goose version of a Romeo & Juliet story or "Mean Girls"? 🤔

A day or two ago, these little guys were eggs! Unfortunately, the golf ball never hatched. 😕
