Exhibits and Concessions

 I got this great idea to get the family together to create/enjoy state fair food.  And all I can say is that I better read this before I attempt that again!  Two deep fryers going for mini donuts, cheese curds and deep fried cookie dough and last but not least deep fried pickles.  Sam manned the grill for about a footlong and corn on the cob.  Lily and Ruby assisted Adrienne and I as we struggled dropping glops into the deep fryers.  Dogs were looking for handouts.  Craziness.  But the air smelled like the Minnesota State Fair and the cheese curds were pretty good!

Lou looking for one more doughnut!

One quick picture of us afterwards.

Crooked Lake Resort

 Last week we drove 240 miles to Crooked Lake Resort, 9449 Cramer Rd, Finland, MN 55603

Now the Crooked Lake Resort website is right out of 1998 which I found intriguing.  It left many questions unanswered by visiting their website.  But one thing was clear, there was no running water in the cabins!  

On our way...anticipation at it's best

Rustic cabin #2

I used the vintage filter because we really we going back in time with this cabin. 

*Note the refrigerator. Despite the luxury, the cabin was very clean and comfortable.

The outhouse was clean and had NO odor and NO flies.  Really!

We did not catch many fish this trip and the talk of the resort was that no one was catching fish.  But that didn't stop the boys from trying!

Tettegouche State Park

Everyday looked like this.

We three enjoyed roughing it in the 2020 summer cabin!
