Golfing at Irish Hill

It was a beautiful day so at Noon I called my co-worker Terry Curtis to see if he wanted to go golfing. Terry was eager as he had an upcoming golf tournament to practice for so and Gabe, Terry and I went golfing at Irish Hills in LaCrosse.

We walked the course, shanked and lost quite few balls and had numerous "mulligans". However, no one was injured (no other golfers were hit by our balls) and we had fun so it was a good outing. It took us about two hours to golf 9 holes.

This was the first time Gabe had golfed (outside of the driving range) and he did a pretty good job. He hit a few irons very well and wants to go again but next time rent a cart.

Gabe is pictured on the left. On the right, both of us are wondering if we could golf better is someone pitched us the ball.

Camping and Climbing At Devils Lake

On Thursday, June 10th Gabe and I took a group climbing at DL. After the day was done, we set up camp at Ice Age Campground and then went to Todd and Amanda's house to have some pizza. We got back to the campground at around 8:00 PM and started a campfire to spend some time reading by it. We were both tired from the day so we pulled out the sleeping bags at around 9:30 PM. The storm(s) started moving through at/around 1:00 AM. The tent held up well but some water got into the floor of the tent, however we were above it thanks to our sleeping pads. Gabe slept right through the storms which ended about 4 hours later.

On Friday we made bacon and eggs and packed up to climb on the West Bluff. We spent some time climbing at Cleo's on Queens Face and Between Queens. We packed up and headed for home at around 2:00 PM. We both felt is was nice to just have a day to ourselves to climb.
