Camping Observations

* It has been revealed that my superhero power is the ability to fart and frighten deer off the bike trail. Perhaps this shall open the door to unconsidered career opportunities, such as strapping myself to the hood of a vehicle and reducing roadkill!


* We had great fun at Zorbaz in Spicer, MN. Live music on their huge outdoor patio with a panoramic view of Green Lake. Couldn't resist their gift shop tshirts as well as the don't-take-it-so-seriously atmosphere where they substitute Z for S wherever possible.


* Thank you Karen! For owning a pickup with room for people and stuff, including bikes, and a comfy pop-up camper!  And for driving! 


* If you are ever in Willmar. MN, I recommend Grizzly's. Reasonably priced very yummy food. I had the applewood bacon wrapped sirloin. Delicious.


* The campfire transforms Nacho Cheese Doritos and beer into haute cuisine.


* Thanks to Karen again for whipping up an excellent campsite breakfast of eggs and hashbrowns and venison bacon. 


* Thanks to Colleen for the most excellent salmon mousse and fresh, home baked bread for our Friday night treat!


* Considering all of this wonderful food, it's probably a good thing that we biked over twenty miles and took a couple of long walks around the park. 


* Twice I proved my single match campfire lighting prowess. This former Campfire Girl totally rocks the category.


* A major discovery in finding that inserting inappropriate language into Christmas songs can be outrageously funny. Yes, it was late. Yes, we had been drinking. Still, it was pretty darn funny.
