Myre - Big Island Camping

This Memorial Day weekend my friend Mary and I decided to go camping. All the reservable sites were booked so we picked a few parks that still had a few first come first served sites available. Our first choice was all booked up by the time we left town so we headed down to Myre - Big Island State Park near Albert Lea. When we arrived the park staff directed us to one of the best sites in the park.

The weather for the weekend was great compared to what it was in the north. We had rain one night but only for a short while. It was cloudy, hot and muggy on Sunday but as we set out for a hike the clouds opened up to let the sun through. This state park has a good mix of land types. We were able to see bogs, forrest, and prairie on our hikes.

It was a great weekend for camping!

Accidental Art




ink

Originally uploaded by scifi_monkey

It all started out because I had a blob of ink on my finger.

After wiping the ink onto this page I thought I would find out what the other colors of ink looked like smeared around on the paper. I was hoping to get more of a “splash” affect but the drops of ink didnt really splash much at all. I then wiped the ink around the page with a paper towel.

Behold the results of my accidental art.

What’s in the bag?

My arsenal of golf discs has increased steadily over the last few years. I wanted to experiment and find out what I could do with a variety of discs. So far it is going well.

Currently in my bag as of 05/06/08.

Putters
Star Aviar PnA        - Standard Putter. This one gets the most use.
Star Rhyno - Great for windy conditions and trick shots.
DX Aviar PnA - Was my goto putter until it came out in star plastic.

Star Gator - Still not too sure about this one. Very similar to the Cro. Still checking this one out.
Pro ROC KC 12X - Fantastic midrange disc.
Star Cro - Very similar to the Roc.
