scurrying north to dodge the storm

Last night, the Olson's departed their cozy nest in River Falls to head north for deer camp 2019 and Thanksgiving with the Wood Lake Olson's. We left after school/tutoring/swim practice and ate dinner at the Village Pizzeria in Dresser. Katie and Karen were in the Prius and Brad, Anders and Osten were in the Caravan. Brad took the lead to Dresser and Karen took the lead to Wood Lake.

Brad's vehicle had to slow for a few fawns near Somerset and Karen's vehicle had to slow for a black bear running parallel to highway 48 close to our destination. It was a bit startling to see a black bear, but I'm happy to report, Brad didn't even see the bear when they drove in the same place.

We made it to our destination and then Brad, Anders, Henry and Joe headed farther north to deer camp. Because of the forecast of heavy snow, Karen, Katie and Osten opted to stay at the lake so we didn't get stuck up north at the shack. Warm, comfy and cozy are we!

So thankful to arrive safely and looking forward to the upcoming days off and getting caught up on projects for the holidays.
