So let's talk a little bit about let's talk a little bit about the experience of grants.

Now, oftentimes I have John Blunt on on the air with me on our podcast, the Liars Club and Outdoor Adventures with John Williams.

But talk a little bit about and of course, one of the things that I always say is Grants is just one of these legendary, iconic locations here in the Northeast.

Some of the best pure fly fishing anywhere in the eastern part of the United States and really all over the country with with.

Landlocked salmon and native brook trout and brown trout and a beautiful lake that is nearly six miles long.

And, of course, it attracts fly fishermen from all over the country, fly fishermen and women all over the country.

But one of the things that we wanted to talk a little bit about today is that, you know, this is a camp that is open.

These camps are open from, you know, about mid-May right through the end of October, which is bird hunting season.

It's also a place that you can bring your entire family for kind of a wilderness experience.

Talk a little bit about that and how important it is that people know about that.

But in that off season of fly fishing and hunting, it's just such a peaceful, quiet lake.

where you can bring your family we've had multi-generational you know great grandparents who have been coming here similar to you at like 50 plus years and they've brought their kids since they were little tots and now that they've got grandkids come in they love to take out our you know steena paddle boards or just go swimming uh it's a very calm shallow lake for a little bit but um And just having that aspect of camp brings in so many great memories for these families.

We have so many kids who are like, I can't remember the last time I was here, but I had so much fun and we saw a moose.

And it's just so cool to hear the things that these kids remember year after year.

And I think this is great to be able to talk about this on the air because I can lend my attention to that experience as well because one of the things that has happened with my family is that I've got grandchildren that have been coming here now for over 20 years and beyond that.

And when they first started out here, you know, they were little they were little tiny kids and and they weren't fly fishing.
