You can usually find Morgan holding it down at Lazy River check-in on the weekends and pretty much anywhere and everywhere during the week! 😂
And if you happen to see her driving one of the buses… no, she’s not 12 🤪😂 We promise she’s old enough to drive!
Morgan has been with us FOREVER and is way more like family than an employee at this point. 💛 We’re so lucky to have her as part of the Cartecay crew!
If you see Morgan around, be sure to say HI!! 👋🏼✨

Gage has been part of the Cartecay crew for 7 YEARS and around here, he does a little bit of EVERYTHING!
Most days you’ll catch him driving the truck & trailer, hauling tubers and tubes around, but don’t be surprised if you spot him at the Lazy River, Adventure Check-In, slinging tubes, or pretty much anywhere else along your Cartecay adventure! 😂🌊
Gage is working ALL WEEKEND, so if you see him, make sure you give him a big HEY GAGE!!! 👋
We sure are lucky to have him as part of the Cartecay crew! 💙
