I report(ed) on Penn State. I also fish, and do other fun things. Which of those I post about here is TBD. Live in Minnesota.

Acadia is wonderful but these trails are something else.

Owls have been hooting up a storm the last few nights but makes them easier to find.

It’s pretty cool, much like BWCA it’s a very unpopulated region. Having two medium sized lakes to paddle around solo and not worry about anything else was a blessing

VNP, so similar idea, especially since we did the backcountry version

Not close enough for a butt clench but close enough to consider it

For as much as I enjoy birds, don’t think I’ve ever seen an owl in the wild until all the little birds in the front yard picked a fight tonight.

I think it, on some level, it speaks to a real education issue. Not like "we don't agree and I think that means you're stupid" but just a complete lack of facilities to detect any number of ways DT and EM were just vomiting bullshit and assume everyone warning them was simply wrong.

That’s probably next, but doing Voyageurs first. Dropped at trailhead, backpack in, NPS has canoes locked up on other end. Staying at War Club and Locator two days each. One campsite per lake. If we don’t come back it was either the flies or the wolves, but probably moose because they’re assholes

I appreciate Perk because he's one of those guys that when people are like "You never played the game you can't comment on it" you can say "He did, and listen to this dumbass"

Fouling up three is the right move and also the coward move
