10 Nov No Monkey-ing Around… A Fantastic, Fiery Season!
Written by Owner/Manager: Sam Raymond
I’ve been told 2016 is the Year of the Fire Monkey, summarized as a year of great change, expansion and application of resources. Not knowing much about Chinese Astrology, I feel it’s accurate to say Keweenaw Adventure Company (KAC) was graced by the Fire Monkey’s influence this season.
Following spring’s melt, excitement stirred and the KAC Campus expanded! Our long anticipated bike port was built to house our fleet of rental bikes, while the landscaping of our new mountain bike shuttle depot was completed! (Click here to view VIDEO of construction project!)
The shop’s interior received a facelift, and both our website and reservation system underwent major renovations, too.
*NOTE: Improvements are ongoing and bikes will soon be available to reserve ONLINE for 2017,
along with all watercraft rentals and ALL tours!*
The Keweenaw Adventure Cottage was newly acquired and will be available for 2017 spring/summer/fall lodging, while the Keweenaw Adventure Cabin is still available year-round in perfect proximity for winter adventuring in and around the Harbor, including Mount Bohemia!
But what’s more, more than all this new and improved stuff, is the opportunity and privilege of sharing our abundance, our resources, our change with YOU, our loyal customers. We are so fortunate that a whopping 1/3 of you adventure with us each season, and that another 1/4 of you join us based on former customers good word.
As a small, pioneering business now in its 23rd season, we have experienced an unprecedented growth in the last half-decade – perhaps thanks to the Fire Monkey this season! – and we could not be more appreciative for the ongoing support of our patrons.
Our KAC Pack, one heck of a staff, gives thanks to you, one heck of an adventurer.
Sincerely,
Sam & the KAC Pack
