To the Bill Sykes Family - July 1st 1973

God is There...

There is a little resort in the Great Northwoods, If you haven't been there, then really you should.
I am sure once you get there you'll understand why I can recommend this place without batting an eye.

It goes by the name of The Mogasheen Resort And visited by folks from east, west, south and north. The family who owns it are called Sykes by name, but if you check back, I doubt you'll find fame. They are just an ordinary family of seven, But with all the people around it looks like heaven.

The cottages are clean and conveniently stocked.
If you don't have what you want, then just snap a lock.
No matter what kind of a story you cry
they sit and they listen and understand why.
On Monday they have a picnic and invite all and once you are acquainted you just have a ball.

And whether you go for one week or two,
When you get ready to leave, it has been too few And I know no matter how long we may live We will remember the Sykes and that they could give, To lift a person from everyday woes and cares And let them know that God truly dwells there.

THE BROWNS

This picture was taken this year 2011 at the Island. We love Mogasheen!

We just wanted to say thank you for all you do to make Mogasheen or "Mogo" as Amy says, such a beautiful place to stay! We have such good times & happy memories from our weeks vacation with you. Our trip to Mogasheen is truly the best week of our summer. Mike and I see more of the kids that week and hear less complaints from them more than any other week all year! It's wonderful family time. You are two very special people to make everyone feel so welcome and to put up with all the "quirky" guests! We look forward, with anticipation, to next year's visit.

Your friends, Mike & Anne, David, Katie & Amy Walkowski

Thank you so much for letting us stay in such a nice cabin! We all had a great time in your swimming pool and gameroom. The Weeinie Roast was a blast this year! We had a great time spoiling Mogie and Pedro while we were there. We enjoyed every last minute of our stay while we were up at Mogasheen Resort!

Thanks again,
Marty, LeAnn, Rachel & Derek Salwey

Matthew skied behind the boat
with his daddy by his side,
While Andrew and Melissa
Took the "Hot Dog" for a ride.

Monika was taller, even than her mom,
An ace softball pitcher - her game;
Andrew's birthday was quite a hoot,
to finally be five - his aim.

There were many thrills canoeing
Along the mighty Brule,
Riding the Class II rapids
Where excitement was the rule.

Grandpa, Daddy, and Matthew
Went out one night to fish;
they hoped to catch some walleyes,
And they finally got their wish.

All four cousins together again,
Monika, Melissa, Matthew, & Andrew;
The week was short, but, oh so sweet -
What an awesome rendezvous!

Landon loved swimming in the indoor pool. Mogasheen is a wonderful getaway for our family anytime of the year. Our dog Rocco loved playiing in the water. He was resting in this photo after a long day playing at Mogasheen!

I come up to mogasheen every summer with my mom, my brothers, my aunt, and my grandparents. I absolutly love your resort! I love how everything is located so close together and all the things you offer there are awesome. Like the canoes and kayaks, your bait shop, and the bikes. Also, Lake Namekagon has to be my favorite lake to fish in northern wisconsin. Thank you for all the fun years up in the north woods, see you this summer! Attached is a picture of a nice smallmouth bass i caught last year on lake namekagon and a picture of a nice northern.
