The Weekend Report

This weekend was started off with a great little beer and deer cooking at Jake's. The ladies of the Grove were tied up at some Christmas something, I don't know, I was really paying attention. But some guys got together to eat, drink, and be merry. And merry we were with great deer tenderloin.

Saturday was wiled away preparing for an overnighter on Hawksbill crag, which the next morning we discovered to be a "tents with red x's only" camping spot. We had tents, but left the red x's at home, so we might have gotten in trouble had we seen someone. Luckily, the only living entity we saw due to fog and the general location of Newton County AR were the massive Elk that turned a straight stretch of highway in Boxley Valley into a four way stop. I capitalize Elk due to the size of the animals. Wow. The bull we saw was the biggest thing I have ever seen in the wild, excluding buffalo. They were technically in the wild/on the side of the road in North Dakota. The bull was an 8x8. Whether your talking wheels or points, that big.

I finished the weekend by returning late for one of the parties' lunch engagement. Pretty sweet. To top it all off, Suzanne and I ate sushi after church. I love sushi.
