The Spider Lake Resort in the town of Birchwood is at the center of a zoning debate that is pitting neighbors, the town of Birchwood, and the Washburn County Zoning Committee against a proposed development based on a condominium structure in a campground facility.

McPherson Sentinel: News Column
A bright orange backpack, an occasionally scruffy beard and assorted T-shirts all identify the newest adventurer and teacher to Walk Across America.
Don Vermilyea, a native of West Virginia, began his walk on Feb. 2, 2002, in Tucson, Ariz.
He has two missions. One is to visit every Church of the Brethren that invites him, and the second, which he finds harder and harder, is to reach out to people and teach them of the gospels and Jesus.
Vermilyea has visited one-fifth of the United States so far, and in every state he walks through, he aspires to "plant a seed" and share God's love with every one who will listen.
Straight Shooting : Winter-time camping has plenty to offer in the Natural State
Thursday, November 6, 2003
The calendar says it’s November, but based on the recent weather, you have to wonder. With temperatures in the high 70s earlier this week, it’s hard to accept the fact that winter is here. It just seems like fall is refusing to release its grip on northwest Arkansas. But hey, who’s complaining?
While November to many means the end of the fishing season and the start of the traditional hunting year, there are a few who simply refuse to give up on fall activities. While many of our local campgrounds called it quits for the season on Oct.
Fam in tight corner over team funds
Fam found itself at a tight spot on Monday following government's delay to release funding for Flames' camping at Capital City Motel in Lilongwe and foreign-based contingent's air travel for this Saturday's World Cup second leg preliminary against Ethiopia in Lilongwe.
The association was further thrown in a delicate situation when Lilongwe Hotel made it crystal clear that it will not open the doors for the visiting Ethiopia national team which is expected to arrive on Wednesday unless a down payment is made.
Virginia's Retreat
As you explore Virginia's Retreat you dont want to stray too far from where the action is. Set up a home base in one of these state or private campgrounds for easy access to your car and the freedom to explore a wide area each day. Or, tighten the circle of exploration and abandon the car for a more back-to-nature experience with a backpacking trek through wildlife management areas. In either case, remember that following the rules gives everybody a chance to enjoy Virginia's outdoors. Confine all fires to the grill area of your campsite or use a backpacking stove, if you are headed into the WMAs.

Lake Carlos State Park
The colorful show in the sky and its twin image reflected in the lake are a welcome counterpoint to the muted browns and grays of a late fall hike through Lake Carlos State Park.
The branches of the deciduous trees and bushes are bare--their decaying brown, tan and gray leaves are cast about the forest floor, ghosts of their summer brilliance. The prairie grasses wither and release their seeds in the cold north wind, dreaming of the green of spring.
Lake Carlos had yet to freeze over when I visited the state park on the first day of December. On this quiet, crisp day, the big lake is the very definition serenity--calm, clear, tranquil.
