Great Weekend Camping Trip

After work Friday, Sue and I loaded up the camper and headed out of town camping. We went to a real nice county campground near Mapleton, MN called Daly Park on Lura Lake. The park is very well maintained by Dave and Peggy the caretakers. They are very nice and do a great job.
Thursday night we had almost two inches of rain then just as we were backing into our site the sky opened up again for a brief downpour that lasted only about sixty seconds. I am happy to say that the skies cleared up and it was perfect the rest of the weekend.

Saturday after we returned from town picking up more beer and a few groceries we headed for the lake for some fishing.


We caught two fish each...and yes, they were MUCH bigger than the ones in the pictures.

Lura Lake is a nice sized little lake that covers about 1500 acres. What we have noticed the last few years is the large number of white pelicans that live there.




Saturday afternoon our son Ben and his wife Anna came out to join us for a cookout. They are a delight and fun to be around.
Before supper we went geocaching. If you are not familiar with that hobby....people hid "stuff" in various locations and post the coordinates on the Internet along with some hints. You then download the coordinates to your GPS and off you go. It is fun and a great way to get some exercise.

Ben took some pictures and will be sending them to me. As soon as that happens, I will post them for you.

After hiking several miles we decided it was Miller Time and cracked open a few cold ones and snacked while visiting. I am a bit worried about Ben in that he seems to have acquired my humor. That's OK, he could have done a lot worse!

Lots to do before going back to work tomorrow, so I will sign off for now with this invitation...Tune in again soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
