Always a treat.

Always a treat.

Out with some geocachers on a boat after breakfast to find a cache near a dam. Once we got out it started storming. At the cache site itself we left the boat to climb up to the top of a small bluff while there was lightning. Found the cache and snapped a quick photo. Ran out of oil, ran out of gas, but our captian Ray had backup of everything. Even though we all got pretty wet it was well worth the trip. Great cache. Thanks RayRoad!

Trippy car ride out to lunch with Teresa, Mindi and Kris.

This is one of the most famous if not the most famous General Store in Minnesota. It has been featured in a few films and is apparently the store that’s in Lake Woebegon as told by Garrison Keillor (so I am told). My mother’s cousin’s family have owned it for many years.
It’s situated in a small town called Marine on Saint Croix which has a library, a bar, an auto repair shop, an ice cream parlor, bank, church and elementary school. It is a rather nice area to live and has stayed rather rural so far although the Minneapolis/Saint Paul suburbs are starting to get really close to here these days.
Very nice place to stop off of Minnesota Highway 95 for a soda.

My sister’s cat rocks.

A large amount of Sparks here. I mixed it with box-chocolate-martini-mix and it was horrid. Otherwise, good times.
