Minnesota land of 10,000 lakes and a few a**holes

About 9000 people participated this year.  A "sea of humanity" downtown if you like.

The lake is one of the larger ones found in Minnesota. It's shallow, probably 20 feet deep at it's deepest point. The fishing is not so good these days. Anyone who goes out in a boat works for their catch. The state DNR recommends that people only eat a minimal amount of fish from the lake due to the high levels of mercury and other toxins found in the fish. It's usually windy and the shallowness of the lake causes some rather rough water at times. The constantly blowing wind has an almost neurotic quality to it at times. If you can't make your peace with the weather you don't have any business spending any time up at the cabin. You can sit in back of the cabin if you want to be out of the wind but eventually the wind will drive you a bit crazy finally forcing you indoors where it howls through the windows. The lake is located in central Minnesota, the god fearing farmland world of good Christian folk. The people are pleasant but to put it carefully...
