So, I am a huge fan of Fall. I love the weather, the holidays, less humidity, no mosquitos, and not least of all…I love to hunt. I actually enjoy taking the dock out at the lake on Labor Day weekend because of what it signifies. It starts in September with a lot of duck hunting and transitions into the first few weeks of pheasant hunting … Continue reading Hunting Season 2019
Over the last two weeks we wrapped up our summer by hitting the last few North Dakota State Parks for the year. We visited Beaver Lake, Lewis and Clark, Lake Sakakawea, and Fort Stevenson.

After visiting all 13 ND … Continue reading Our Favorite North Dakota State Parks
My son and I (along with two of his friends) just wrapped up a quick three-day trip that included a fossil dig in the Pembina Gorge, camping in Lake Metigoshe State Park, and quick visits to Grahams Island State Park and Turtle River State Park. The fossil dig (through NDGS Paleontology) was a hit with all three kids! It was a beautiful day that … Continue reading Fossils, Hiking, and Geocaching

Our first trip of the year was over the first few days of July. We visited Little Missouri State Park, Sully Creek State Park, and Theodore … Continue reading First Camping Trip of 2019
“Being an uncle is fun” said every uncle who got their nephew to do something stupid! In early January, our extended family meets in Fullerton, ND for a full day of making deer sausage. It’s a fun family tradition. Once the meat is in the smokehouse (and before dinner at the Ranch House) things typically get a little crazy. Here is an example of the … Continue reading What will my nephew do for $50
