My Apologies

 I apologize for not blogging for 4 days. I have been on another road trip with the grand girls and we were camping without benefit of electricity of WIFI. We traveled from Minneapolis toward the Saint Croix National Park Office in Saint Croix Falls. We walked around the visitor center and the girls earned three new Junior Ranger badges. We also found the skeleton of a Dobson Fly on the sidewalk outside. After that visit we drove north to Jay Cooke State Park where they was camping available. This is a very nice state park, fully staffed and complete with a dishwashing station outside of the shower building. We set up Offspring #2's tent which is larger in size and very comfortable. White throated sparrows called from the trees. An audacious young red squirrel was very persistent in searching for food. It sat on the picnic table next to me within reach. Coyotes were howling from various parts of the campground during the night. A barred owl called 3 times.
