I have too many to list too. Here is one I sent by e-mail to a friend while he was away. I have it saved in my documents file. I'll copy and paste it here. Sorry for all the little arrows I don't know where they came from. This was in 2008
> Last weekend I went by myself to Cedar Hanson park near Trimont, MN .
> Nice park. There are really two parks there together. Cedar is older
> has more mature trees but, has no electricity. Hanson has electrical
> hook up but, is not among the mature trees. Hanson is where you
> take the bigger nicer campers and cedar is for us poor folk.
>
> I pulled in there Friday night around 7 PM. I found a nice spot
> and set up. Cedar park has some nice, almost , private beaches on
> it but, there down low near the lake and you need a tent to set up
> down there. There was nobody at them so I set up in the best camping
> spot near the one of them. I looked around and found out that I had
> the whole east part of the cedar park to myself. There were some
> teenagers at the tent camping spot near the second beach. But, that was a
> long way from me. After set up I looked at the lake. Yes, it was
> green but, not to scummy. So, I went to the bait shop and got some
> worms
> After getting back to the lake I grabbed my swimming trunks, a
> fishing pole, a couple of beers, and went down to the little beach.
> After checking that no one was around I changed into my trunks, (
> Right at the beach in a public park. What a crazy guy I am) Then
> walked out into the lake a ways and threw out a line. Then I pulled
> out some more line and sat down at the picnic table and had a beer.
> Wasn't to long and I thought I saw the bobber moving. Sure enough,
> something was pushing at it. But, it just wouldn't bite! After some
> teasing I finally was able to pull in a small cat fish. I have to
> say, it was fun. It didn't just run with the worm. It took some work
> to get it to bite and pull t to shore. After I got it in to shore I
> found the hook was just barely in it's mouth and was easily removed
> so I could release the fish back to the lake. Another worm and I
> had a bull head. Then a second bull head. Then another small
> catfish. I threw the bull heads back but, by the time I got the
> hook out of them I don't think they will survive. The swallow the
> whole thing. The catfish just nibble. I like fishing for them
> better. It was getting dark so I packed it in and went back to my
> camper.
>
> I started a fire at the camper. ( thank god for charcoal lighter
> fluid.) I had brought some sticks of wood from a construction
> building at the farm and I started with them. But, because I was
> there all alone I went to the other fire pits and took the left over
> wood that they had not burned. (God, I'm a cheap skate ain't I ? )
> I wrapped a couple of potatoes in tin foil , put them in the coals
> and set down,. I had sweat pants along but, they were the wrong ones. They were way to hot for this time of the year. I decide since I was alone on
> this side of the park I could just set around in my boxers and t
> shirt. Nobody ever knew. Boy, am I ever a wild person.

> I was having a good time setting there watching the fire when I
> noticed a little thunder. No problem I thought, it's going to go
> north of me. A slight breeze picked up. No problem I thought, It
> will make for better sleeping. It started to sprinkle. No problem I
> thought, in fact, it was kinda fun to set in the sprinkles and watch
> it sizzle when a drop would hit the fire.
>
> Then, it all broke loose. If heaven is a camp ground then god
> decided to throw a bucket of water out the door of his camper and
> it all landed on me.
>
> I ran for my little camper and quickly shut the windows.
>
> My friend Angel says your not really camping when you use camper.
> Tents are, according to her, the only real way to camp. Boy, I
> glad to have my little box when a sudden thunderstorm picks up.
>
> So, I'm setting there watching TV and the rain come down when I
> suddenly remembered I had brought that cot I have and it was setting
> out in the rain. I decide, stupidly, that I should go grab it. I run
> out in the rain, getting drenched, grab it, and track mud into the
> camper. Then as soon as I get it inside the camper the rain quits.
>
> I should have known.
>
> After the rain the fire was mostly out so I had baked potatoes
> and a turkey sandwich for supper. I had bought the sandwich meat at
> the mini mart in Trimont. Then I went to bed and slept peacefully.
>
> The next day Some teenagers on the other side of the park had a good idea.
> The had a canoe and rowed themselves to the other side of the lake
> for a morning swim. They had one of those paddles where there is a
> paddle on each end of the same stick and they made good time across
> the lake with that.
>
> I want for a hike on some of the trails and for dinner I didn't
> want to start another fire so I made some stuff on my camper stove.
> I went for a drive and got back to the campground around 10. I was setting by the fire when I heard voices on the lake. The teenagers had there canoe
> set up with the lights to be legal and were going around the lake
> fishing. They got all the way around the lake. When they came by me
> you could not even hear them. They really know how to paddle that
> thing quietly. If they hadn't been talking now and then in low
> voices I would never have known they where there. They were on the
> lake till midnight. Looked like fun!!!
>
> I went to bed around 1 after cooking some old fashion hot dogs
> on the fire.
>
> Sunday was a nice day. I tried out the new binoculars I bought in
> Fairmont the day before. I was able to see things on the other shore
> of the lake I never knew were there. I did some bird watching with
> them too. I'm going to like them.
>
> I regrettably packed it up around 3 and headed home.
>
> I did a lot more but, I'll tell you some other day.

> Have a nice day, Caveman Charlie
