Jeff and Ben Shooting Some Clay Pigeons

Our first stop on the trip was Minneapolis. We were visiting Ben, one of Jeff’s oldest friends, and his wife, Betsy. We averaged about 20mpg the whole way there – hooray for flat-land driving at sea level.

On the way in, we stopped in Madison, Wisconsin for some cheese and beer (we recommend sampling the different discarded odds and ends, as well as the New Glarus beer at Fromag’nation).

Our time in MN was fantastic – Ben took us to Duluth for the day, and then drove us North for a quick hike (and some pie) on the Lake Superior coast. Lake Superior is gorgeous, and it was the first time either Kristen or I had seen it. The next day, we went for a mountain bike ride, and then Ben took us out to the middle of nowhere to shoot some clay pigeons with his shotgun. To answer your question, yes, Kristen fired a shot.

    1. She made a sort of yelping noise, frantically handed the gun back to Ben, then sat down on a bench and said she didn't want to do it again.
