Jack as one of the Mexican beans, Jack and the beanstalk, Missoula Theater company version.
Jon had a great week at hockey camp and was mvp on defense for his team. It was neat to see the improvement in all the kids, from squirts to bantams. Sure, it was a shooting, stick handling and puck control focus but all levels had some plays with four passes between the blue line and the net which was fun to watch. The play got a little chippy at time but no one got hurt, no fights and the coaches just let them play. The kids were creative and just good hockey. I think a lot of this has been lost with too much stucture these days. Kids from all over the US and one kid from Moscow. Not sure the connection. Asked Jon, he didn't know. He said everyone just called him "Russia".
Riding the quad trail in the WESF.
Has been dry now the past few weeks so loose and rocky. The ride back I followed Jake the whole way as he was picking the lines quite nicely and floating over the rocky sections.

We met a group of quads and stopped to let them by. Jake had a stare down with this dude and the guy got scared once Jake flexed his guns and they went on their way. Fun riding with Jake. This has to rank as one of the best weeks of riding. From Duluth on Sunday to riding today and the different routes in between, it was all very good.

You can see the fear in the 4 wheeler dudes eyes. There is no way that anyone should mess with Jake the Snake.
Sounds like the Richards had a good week!
