Mostly good recall. As noted, the cabins were wooden, very much like the typical Russell cabin of the day. And while the restaurant was noisy, it was mostly because of the brick floor and abundance of glass; the ceilings were actually quite high. Eventually "stylish" carpeting was hung from the ceiling in an effort to dampen the noise; it might have worked, but what those carpets really did was trap all sorts of dust, grime, and -- not a misprint -- onion rings and french fries. None of that was known until the carpets were removed, creating an unforgettable dust storm inside. (It was decided that the random bits of food came from kids who were bored enough to spend their time trying to launch parts of their meals up onto the carpet withot their parents noticing.)

As for those postcards... I have been trying to find them for years. I have run across some old Lake Martin postcards, but not those that were sold in the store at Kowaliga. (As I recall, those included: a shot of the marina; Chimney Rock; the Bob White Motel; Church in the Pines; a blonde woman in a green bikini. I'm sure there were others.)
