Water has a way of finding Doug Foster, according to FOX 17.
For the past three nights, the 84-year-old man has slept at Little Switzerland Resort and Campground on Pickerel Lake (Michigan) while his home on the Muskegon River continues to dry out from the flooding that prompted an evacuation order for hundreds of households in Newaygo County, including those in his own neighborhood.
“You can’t beat the view,” Foster said on Thursday (April 23), sitting on the screened-in porch of his cottage. “I wonder if they’d let me trade my place that’s in the water for this spot.”
While the campground doesn’t open until May, owners Rob and Debbie Lammers made an exception for Foster when they heard about his situation. If his house was waterlogged and he had nowhere to go, they’d let him stay with them for free.
“They take good care of me,” Foster said.
