We've had some good times in Minneapolis! We went to a treehouse exhibit in the University of Minneapolis Arboteum that was cool...kind of hit-or-miss, but there were three really cool ones: a bona-fide walk-in birdsnest--is this what TMBG had in mind? TreeMan was my personal fave. You could walk up into his head! The Sugar Maple Ship would have been neater if you could climb around in it, but hey...

All this means is that I need to beef up my quads, which I am indeed in the process of doing! Beef them quads! So our morning of departure dawned looking a bit forboding weather-wise. It began to rain as soon as we mount
