Ha,are you serious? Life is just too beautiful to not take advantage of. Since I last spouted on here I had just arrived home from a 9 week trek. I am back and adjusted to the "Fargo" life, although I have been in and out of homebase since we got back. Most of July was spent saving up and reconnecting with friends around town, getting back to my roots which was surely needed. Then the weekend of July 23 was 10,000 lakes festival which I spent 3 days at, campfires,beautiful melodies and people. The following Tuesday I took off with the Superior family for 6 days on the North Shore of Superior, spending a relaxing, tranquil and pristine week with a crew who has been at it for 12 years running, hot damn it was so fun. So I got back from Grand Marais yesterday and tomorrow I will be voyaging west with our eyes set on Glacier National Park in NW'ern Montana. I have been scattered about the northwoods of Minnesota for 12 years and not once have I come across Mr.Bear. Glacier sounds like it is almost guaranteed you will run into a bear or moose on your hike. We will spend the first 4 days at Glacier hiking, each night stopping along the trail to camp beside a lake, and we will have plenty of time to get off the trails and snoop around. The last 2 days we will be out in the backcountry where one of Spooner's friends will meet us, he works on the upkeep of the trails out there so he knows some hot spots we can check out. So I will be arriving back to the homeland August 11th or 12th, which should wrap up my summer's travels. NZ--10k--NorthShore--Glacier. Not bad?

I can only hope everybody else is enjoying their summer as much as I..but...there is always next summer....
