We where
born and raised in Germany, but did not like the cold weather too much, so in 1978 we took a trip to Florida. Needless to say we loved it and returned one year later with the plan to stay and start a new life in the 'Sunshine State'. |
|
|
So we
ended up in Miami, had a son in 1980, and started our own plumbing business in 1985. Everything went well, the business was and still is successful. Our now grownup son, has the benefits of it, and runs South Dade Plumbing. |

|
In 2000 we
started our new lifestyle by buying our RV and traveling through the many beautiful states of this country. During this time we fell in love with the idea of owning an RV resort one day and ended up buying the Riverside Lodge |
|

Since
march of 2003 my wife Karen and myself (Hardy) are working together on the idea of turning this prior fish camp that's at a most beautiful location, into an RV Resort where people can return to nature, and get away from the big city. |

History of the Aloha Lodge / Riverside Lodge |
||
|
Today's
'Riverside Lodge' started out as the 'Aloha Lodge' fish camp in the 60's. Then in the 80's new owners change the name, build the large Clubhouse and Recreation Hall, the asphalt roads and more, Fishing was great and still is. |
|
|
We found
these old and long forgotten pictures of the past by reorganizing the office, and like to share them with you. Things looked a little different back then, but the idea still remained the same, simply relax have fun and catch a fish. |
|
|
Folks from
many northern states enjoyed Florida's warmer weather and the relaxing atmosphere by the Withlacoochee river. And just like today they had a good time, and some of the same 'Snowbirds' are still coming down here every year. |
