Carl wrote about his Peterson Township neighbors and his own camp for many years as the family grew. Some of the entries show his sense of humor as well as giving us an insight as to what the family was doing::
"The Christopher Camp has been growing of late: A summer kitchen, granary and garage has been added and they seem to fill a much needed want The work was done by the camp farmer and his crew."
"For sale: a 1917 model Ford and a couple of hay stacks. Inquire at the Christopher camp, but not too early in the morning or you may find the owner in bed."
"Wanted at the Christopher camp, a good as new cream separator at the price of a second hand one."
"For sale or exchange: Two or three small lakes. Apply to Christopher & Todd, and take them at your own price. Hurry as they are in the way of our work."
"Mrs. Carl Christopher departed Sunday evening for Rochester, Minn. where she goes to receive further treatment from the Drs. Mayo."
"Carl Christopher has take charge of the trapping department of the Camp now, as the boys will be too busy with schoolwork to look after it."
"Carl Christopher and family started this week for Pequot, Minn via auto, and intend to spend a couple of weeks fishing, spending the time with relatives and friends at that place. Now look out for some big fish yarns when Carl gets back."
