After a few days of productive work and dripping spring, I needed to pick up an Amazon delivery and decided to visit Mammoth, where I found some very interesting destinations.
When something is called the Bloodiest 40 Acres in America, you know that I'll have to check it out. MSP must have been a truly brutal and inhuman place for so many decades.
Checking off another incredible National Treasure was only part of the joy of my day on Cass Island, which included a ferry, wineries, a Biergarten, a cave, a golf cart, and some hiking.
A few packed days found me exploring a mine, a lighthouse, a sculpture park, and Korean Tacos before leaving the Keweenaw Peninsula and heading to Michigan's lower peninsula.
Since I met Lynn and Eric on a climbing trip with Erik's brother, it should come as no surprise that we had to go and find an absolutely spectacular place to get up on the rock.
When my Internet connection wouldn't stay connected in Viborg, I headed out to find out if it would do better in the nearby town of Marion. It did, but the flies were irritating!
After a quick drive through the Mount Hood National Forest, I pulled into Sandy, Oregon, quite hungry, and as I drove through downtown, I found a place close to my heart.
My boys and I have loved this place since it opened. The owners are fantastic, and the executive chef is amazingly creative. And you can't beat Jason's innovative, delicious beers!
This place has been around since I was a student at the University of Kansas, and it hasn't changed much, and the beer and the food is just as tasty as ever.
Oh my! I was craving some BBQ, especially as I was so close to Kansas City (my favorite BBQ place on earth), when I discovered a gem of a restaurant in Lawrence, Kansas.
