Visions 16

John not only owns an island outfitter’s business, but he also runs the day-to-day operations. In addition, he acts as a guide for all the visitors on hunts and is in charge of leading guided nature hikes around the island and mainland. In fact, several of the people visiting the island are from foreign places. Some people from as far away as Germany would save all year long just to come up here to work on the island for the summer. Several Americans have made the long trip up north to hunt, but most of the time they would drink until they couldn’t see straight. Lastly, my Uncle John started off with a two-room cabin that was as old as he is. Today he has a three-bedroom, two-story main cabin and four visitors’ cabins. Just ten years ago the cabins were trees with leaves, but with the help of friends and family he has built his camp from the ground up. As you can see, my uncle is not one of those owners that hires people to do work that he is capable of doing himself.
