We have journeyed north this weekend and are delighted that a little color is starting to show. More than a little. This tree is right behind the camper here at George Wyth State Park near Cedar Falls. The forecast was dismal--rain, rain, rain--convincing some of the group to cancel out. But so far, Thursday was good and Friday morning was fine. And any rain is so sorely needed, it's hard to complain.
We are here for Ken and Harriet to judge a BBQ contest at the National Cattle Congress this afternoon. The forecast says a chance of rain mid -afternoon but otherwise okay. I have heard about the Cattle Congress since I moved to Hampton only forty miles away in fifth grade. It was hard for a townie to envision it as a fun exciting place. But it appears on a level with the state fair, so I can see why so many kids were excited to go.
There are some great trails at George Wyth for biking and hiking. Yesterday Harriet and I took a walk in the morning. Spotted along the way: a huge log that was completely hollow, and what I identified on the internet as a chicken in the woods mushroom.

Of course, when camping, we always work hard to stave off starvation. Thursday night, Don grilled some wonderful New York strips and last night we had some of Ken's great brisket. And of course, sides. And desserts. Better go on another walk this morning.
