Fog


The fog makes it look like if you step off the dock, you step into nothing-ness.

Detour on the Way Home - Sunday

We left Polly and Craig in their campsite because they were continuing their vacation.  The rest of us headed for home.  Troy had us stop at the Rockin R Ranch.  What a neat place! Picture a RV camp ground in the hills with a bunch of camping sites.  Everyone had a semi-permanent shelter all dressed up in western themes.

This is a heaven for horse lovers.  Everyone brings their horses and four wheelers with them for the weekend.  There are corrals, bunk houses, a mess kitchen, fire rings and trails. They have organized parties once a month with entertainment.  Here are some pics:

Hanging out on the beach - Saturday Evening

After the Peace Garden we went back to the hotel and went down to the beach and hung out. We were sitting around, getting our feet wet and wondering why there were so many boats on the lake.... anchored out.  Then we saw why.  A boat brought in Mikey and Gov. John Hoeven. They were greeted by what looked like a political fund raising dinner/group.  Then another surprise, a ski team came up and gave a performance complete with bare-foot skiing and pyramids.

Going on at the same time was a bachelor-ette party on the pontoon that parked to the side of us.  We seemed to be in the middle of everything.  Quite the show all around!

To end the day, we ate at the Oak Bar & Grill located right behind us. (The same place that we ate the night before.)
