Motorcycle Rendezvous - Isabella, Minnesota
Ben, Tami, Mike, Wade and Tony. Tony acted as the designated Sherpa to haul all of our gear in the Honda Element. Scott arrived later that night but I never got any photos of him. We camped at what has been ceremoniously renamed Smoking Toad Lake (story below..see the toad photo).

The formerly "Smoking Toad." This little fella hopped along the shore the previous night and jumped right into our fire. Someone saved him using a stick, and he was literally smoking. We flicked him into the lake to cool him down, but he didn't go very far and died.

Below: No, not exactly from this trip, but this is my neighborhood backyard skunk who also enjoyed the "end of the pot" 2-Alarm Northern Cowboy Stew on my compost in my backyard.

Note: I'll call him Douglas. He was never threatening me, and he (I'm just assuming it was a he) just wanted dibs on the remnants of my Cowboy Stew that I dumped to my compost area in my garden (it was unfridged for too long). Pretty shy striped skunk, and seemed to know when I had a camera or not. Maybe he (she) saw shiny somethings when I had my camera out, and that freaked him (her) out each time. There's bacon grease on top of my remnant cowboy stew, too. Nice dinner! This critter had a fence that I personally installed between me and it, so I didn't mind getting close like this (with one eye open out of the camera, for sure!) One spray would have wrecked this photo session, for sure.
