Tim and Shirley Morrison, Gatlinburg, TN, visited Waterfall twice this season!

On their first trip, they brought their 18-year-old daughter, Sarah, and their son, Greg, who is currently serving in the U.S. Marine Corp. The Morrisons were looking for a Resort that offered a true Alaskan experience for Sarah. They discovered Waterfall and decided Waterfall “fit the bill” across the board! Shirley told us that she and Tim enjoyed their time at Waterfall so much they booked a second ’09 trip, but this time, the trip was just for the two of them. Shirley doesn’t fish but says she could stay here all summer. While Tim is out fishing, Shirley spends her days walking, reading, taking photos of wildlife, and talking to guests and employees around camp. Everyone at the Resort is hoping for a Morrison Trip, Part 3 – 2010!
