| On adventure racing... Ooooo doggie! Does that sport look fun. AR is now firmly entrenched on my list of things to do. I had a good chuckle when I pulled out of TA2 at 11:40AM. Driving north the road passed through the paddle portion of the course. I looked off to the east and saw the telltale orange boats of two teams that had portaged into the wrong lake! Apparently navigation is an important skill for AR participation! |

| A sort of a time trial on a standard test route. Some walking, some fiddling. Conditions were pretty bad. The trail was so overgrown so as to be invisible in some places. Copious poison Ivy, briars, nettles, and I was wearing only shorts! I was soaked to the bone when finished from kicking through the rain soaked vegetation. I may have to abandon this trail until autumn. |

| I finally took a spin on the mountain bike. It has been eight years since my last MTB ride. What fun. Why did I ever stop riding?!? My route.
North of County Road H and south of County Road I traveled a brand new section of paved bike trail, right through the decomissioned Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant. It is a small new trail, but a great link to some other trails both north and south. I recently read that Rice Creek is now open for paddling through the TCAAP as well. Gnome Hunters will no longer have to conspicuously portage through the residential streets of Mounds View while on training missions. lol.
I hope there are funds set aside by MNOC to map the TCAAP for future meets. I suspect that there is spectacular terrain in there, and it is oh, so close to the Twin Cities. |

| Walked with Bridgette and Alex along the eastern shore of Long Lake to the swimming beach, picking up trash as we went, along with a few treasures. We found many beach toys and a couple of nifty balls. We were walking knee deep in the water most of the time to avoid the trees laying in the water. Route.
We saw someone wake surfing. Wow, that is quite an inventive new sport. Does the boat have to be a special design to do that? |

| Street-O in downtown Minneapolis vetting for Jerritt and True North Adventures. I learned how to plot UTM coordinates. I found the task to be tedious and error prone. How do those adventure racers put up with that? |
