The cross country season is winding down with just one regular season meet left. Last week the boys ran at Perham on Thursday.
One of the features of the Perham course is the "mounds". Lead pack coming over. Perham has a strong cc program and has state and national titles to back it up. There is a good rivalry between Detroit Lakes and Perham now. At the home meet, DL just nipped Perham but wasn't too happen at the Yellojackets home course.
Jack coming around the corner.
Jon chasing.
Post race.
Skate park near the course, outskirts of town.
Dirt jump track close proximity. Nice thinking by city officials to make some cheap entertainment for local kids (and adults) utilizing a open area.
Rode over to the meet, taking back roads, enjoying some nice color on quiet back roads.
Random item for sale. Wonder if comes with bait. Only in MN.
Sightseeing features while rolling through Frazee.
Another wedding weekend and great weather once again. Setting up Friday afternoon. Finished the day pan frying walleye for the overnight guests at 9m than went down to the cities, taking Jon for the weekend games of hockey.
Arrived at 1am and up at 630 to head down to Shattuck to play the Prep team for their family weekend.
Before the game I scoped out the complex checking out the facility. Jon's team didn't get to play in the "old" arena but enjoyed taking the sights in nonetheless.
Poster from a Euro tourney. I'm sure who ever was there from Shattuck, won it.
Zach Parise is off to a great start with the Wild this year. Will his photo be replaced with one hoisting "the Cup"?
Just a few photos on the recognition wall.
Jon's Great Plains team, consisting of kids mostly from Single A schools in northern MN built up a 6-1 lead, holding off a late game surge by Shattuck to win 7-5. Not many teams put than many goals vs Shattuck I'm thinking. I think they were stunned. Jon said the chirps from the GP team towards SSM were some of the best/worst he's eard! Oliver Wahlstrom is the real deal though for SSM. Remember that name.
The weather Saturday morning was gorgeous, approaching 80 degrees. Quiet fields outside.
But the Shattuck Prep soccer team was scheduled to play inside the dome so that is where they played. Sounds absorbed by the turf and dead air space.
I have a feeling that some of the people purchasing rugs are still buying drugs.
Back at the resort....Jonell having fun with the bridesmaids that put on all her old dresses from prom and donated from other weddings etc. Jonell continues to do an amazing job with the weddings.
Sunday was take a nephew mountain biking day so took Garrett out to Lebanon hills for a lap around the main loop before Jon's final game on Sunday.
Enjoying the fast and flowy trail.
Sunday, opposite of the rink Jon was playing on had the U17 NDTP team. They were playing one of the teams in the league Jon's team is in. 99 birth years, playing vs teams featuring mostly 97, 98 and some 99 birth years. Very fun hockey to watch. Skill level at the top and good chance quite a few of these kids will be playing Pro in 4-6 years.
Monday was Mid State conference champs in Long Prairie.
Sunday the temp reached the mid 90's in western MN. Monday a cold front came through, dropping the temp to the mid 40's with 50 mph winds. Good reason to put on the Nordic suit. Aaron Johnson taking the boys championship along with the boys team from DL. Nice work.
Bros post race. Love it.
Mexican market near the golf course. Replenished the pintos and jalapenos purchased in Pelican Rapids which can't be purchased in DL.
Short week for the boys with school only running on Monday and Tuesday. Some great hunting over MEA, beautiful fall weather continues. Next post highlighting the duck hunting season.
