Since the Sawmill Campground opened up in the mid 1990’s we have been going there. When they very first opened we would pack our store into the car tunks and set up our Pride Shop in the old Community building on Saturdays & Sundays. Many years we celebrated Mark’s Birthday’s there. One of the first times they had just opened up the primitive cabins. This was way before the trails and nice hotel style cabins they offer today.

    Our very small cabin was one room with a very small window  and even smaller tiny window in the door. We were surrounded by 2 dozen friends all in cabins and or tents for the birthday bash.

    It was a Monday night. There was the BBQ dinner that Carrie cooked, drinks galore and even greater number of newly made friends and friends that came for the party.

   It was about 2AM sitting around the campfire talking, singing, toasting, you got the picture.  Mark went back to the cabin room for something. Then when he was leaving the room the door handles pulled right out of the door and fell on the floor! The door would not open and there was no way anybody could crawl out those tiny windows.  Mark started to freak out. The whole group of drunken friends tried to get the door open.

    Luckily our attorney Steve was there. With a calm voice Steve said, ” Don’t worry. If the place starts on fire and you happen to burn up in there, Carrie will get a Great settlement with me as his attorney!!!”

    About an hour later, the guys finally got the front desk to wake up the maintenance person to fix the door & let Mark out.

The party then calmly continued!!
