Photos and happenings from Tim. Mostly photos.
Pictures from a five day campout in Peninsula State Campground. Until the last night we were near the water in South Nicolet Bay campground, in a non-electric site. We did have to move to the Welker campground on our last night to extend the trip. Another non-electric site.
Pics include
hike South Bay
drive to Door Bluff Headlands County Park
Beaching it at Egg Harbor
Eagle Tower, new and improved, with the ramp to the top
Threw the two gravel bikes into the back of the Prius, steamed to Minneapolis and the High School graduation of Eileen’s second cousin Abby (daughter of Micheal Pocrnic), in Shakopee MN.
Next stop, Northfield to visit the Mom, hang out in the (new to us) Loon Liquor Company distillery.
Third stop – Joe and Jean’s, in Wayzata. Rode the nearest bike path west, which ran to the south of Brown’s Bay (Lower Lake), thru Excelsior, and on to the Lake Auburn Campground area. 25 miles or so, mostly dirt. Pics are of Jean’s backyard.
All the pictures from Tim’s iphone, Eileen’s iphone, and Tim’s Sony. Scenes from MN Landscape Arb, a hike near Lake Harriet, a random hike south of Wayzata, and at the end, some random shots of fun houses in Northfield.

Camping trip, Walls, Howards. Destination, Willow River State Park, NW part of the state, near Hudson. Has a big waterfall. The group stopped on the way up to hike in the Black River State Forest (code name “Tick Alley”).
Throwgolf won by Tim, acknowledged as the greatest Throwgolfer of his generation, holding the record for major championships (1). The course was considered difficult, with trees, brambles, bushes, and other assorted shrubberies serving as obstacles, and these, combined with huge distances (40 ‘ !!) between buckets, was a supreme test of grit and concentration.
Tim and Eillen next camped at Pettibone private campground, just over the bridge from down town LaCrosse. Our next door neighbors were Jean W and Joe G, in their shiny Airstream. Festivities were sponsored by the wider Wilhlem clan and included pontoon boat rides and a wedding reception, held on the Pettibone grounds.
Pictures of the Goode family canoe before being sold off. A We-no-nah Sundowner.
Drove to Tucson AZ to see our new house for the first time since we closed. Had to stock the place from scratch, fix stuff, replace stuff.
First time for us ever being in AZ this late in the year. The good news is, 90F doesn’t feel that bad, esp if you’re out of the sun. The bad news is, it got up to 99 half the time, and it’s really hard to get out of the sun. The only way to enjoy the day is to get up real early.
