BWCA Trip September 2013

Check out the slideshow over to the right of our trip to BWCA last weekend.  Dave and Ellie Boeckermann went up there on Wednesday and we went up and joined them on Friday.  We all came out on Monday. 
It was a little cold at times but we had a great time!  We had a fish fry on Saturday.  We saw a really large wolf on our way in.  Hog Creek was really high (surprisingly) and the paddling was good.  There were no impassable beaver damns.

New Cultivator

 My dad resurrected an old cultivator by putting new handles (made to look old) and cleaned her up.  She looks perfect in my "environment".

Weekend of Riding and Camping

 This past weekend we hit the road around 6:30pm Friday night and didn't get home until around 7pm Sunday night.  Right out of the box Mike was presented a gremlin bell by Makita to ward off gremlins, also known as evil road spirits.  And Mike being the same ass he usually is, had to act like a dip for the photo (see below).
We stayed in Walker Friday night and then Saturday a stop into Brigit's Irish Pub in Bemidji was in order. 

 The Spyder and Patricia (the trailer) served as the pack mule for our adventure.

Stopped into Slims in Bemidji.  Mike = photo ass again.

Ended up at Itasca State Park Saturday night.  Can't go to the park without taking the kids to see the Mississippi headwaters.

 
Nice evening of camping and great weekend of riding.

Kaleb's 9th Birthday Camping Trip

This past weekend we celebrated Kaleb's 9th birthday during a two night camping trip to Crow Wing State park.
 

There were 13 of us total (probably should have had to have an additional permit of some kind).  Kaleb brought two friends, Ashton and Jake.
 

 Birthday boy when he first wakes up in Duke on his birthday morning.

We had to go on a hike.  The kids took turns reading the history lessons along the way.  The mosquitos almost ate us alive.  We all came out with wood ticks.  Jake won with a total of 19 ticks.

Ashton, Kaleb and Jake

The boardwalk is part of the hike.

The boys made birdhouses. 

The grown girls colored in coloring books.

 

Some relaxed by knitting.  Others with a cat nap.
