hey bear!

I spent this last weekend visiting my friend John at the camp he works at up north by Shawano. I went with 4 other people that I lived with in the dorms, where John also lived.

On the way up my friend Peter explained a game to us called, "Hey cows!" (if you know Peter you can imagine what voice he says this in, which makes it much more hilarious) The game is fairly self explanatory in that you have to call "Hey cows!" to cows on the side of the road, and you get points for however many look up at you.

When we camped out on Saturday night we were informed that a bear had been spotted on the same land a few camp sites away a few days before. We soon changed the game to "Hey bear!" We all thought we were really funny when we threw this line out as all 6 of us snuggled into a tiny tent.

In the morning we made a mancake (all of the pancake mix poured into one pan over the fire for a long time), and headed out after a weekend of Sun Drop, rock climbing (a wall), a canoe trip down the Wolf River, swimming, hiking, and laying out underneath the stars.

We quickly learned that "Hey Cows!" was a game of strategy, and as we slowed down as we rounded a corner and all shouted in unison to a small cow pen really close to the road, I think we got every cow to look at us besides one. We glowed with triumph for the rest of the trip home. It was a good weekend.
