Ah, it's been so long since I crapped here at the Catch Up Lady! I've had this one ready to go for awhile, but was awaiting further photographic evidence - since some of this you have to see to believe. Like me with a giant 12 gauge. So, without further ado...
* Be Afraid. Turns out I'm pretty nasty with a shotgun. Oh, you thought bloggers who worship at the alter of J.Crew and are frequently spotted wearing more madras than the eye can process wouldn't be good with a rifle. THINK AGAIN. I was the teen .22 riflery champion in back to back years my week at Camp Michigania. Since then I've been aggressively conditioning my eye hand coordination with Beer Pong - which assisted me greatly as I tried my hand with a shot gun last month. Somewhere clay pigeons are weeping little orange tears, I shot 9 out of 10 on my first round.
* Signs You Can Believe In! Some signs that you see up in Northern Michigan you just can't get behind. Like the one I saw near Boyne City boasting "The World's First 24 Hour Internet Cafe" at a local Days Inn. But, THIS one that my sister saw seems 110% believable. Apparently, further on down the road was actually the "World's Largest"
assortment of beef jerky. Having seen the "meat snack stands" in various gas stations Up North, I have no problem believing in either one.
* Just Awesome. And then there are the things you come across when you least expect it. Like this Beer Cave I found somewhere on 127. I didn't even know these existed. But I love them.
From the looks of it, you're shooting the .20 gauge and Jeremy Posner is tossing the birds for you. Not bad - 9 of 10 with a .20 gauge.

Ha - correct on Posner!
I was going back and forth between the 12 and 20 - wasn't sure which one was in that picture. It came through crappy on the blog as I copied it from Shutterfly, the parentals have the original.
Hey Michignia! :)

Actually, camper and former staff. Amazing what you find when you set a google alert for the word "Michigania".
Best,
