We has a great weekend away from home. It was the MSAA State Target Shoot in Hutchinson, MN and Rick wanted to shoot it so we decided to make a weekend out of it since the shoot was held at a park with a camp grounds. We left Friday morning and once we got all unpacked we got on the bikes. I have not biked hardly at all this year so it was fun to be out on them again. The trail we went on is almost all crushed rock so we took our trail bikes. We only went 22 miles but it was lots of fun and a good work out.
Saturday was the start of the two day MSAA State Target shoot. I have not really shot outdoors in a few years so I did not shoot it. They had 110 shooters, which is a record for the target shoot. It was nice and calm for the beginning of the shoot but then it got super windy. Rick was not really happy with his score but he still did good. It took all day for the shoot so when it was done we were ready to relax. Well I had relaxed all day with a book but Rick was ready :) Larry White was also at the shoot and staying at a hotel. So we told him to go get himself a steak and bring it over to the camp grounds and throw it on the grill. It was lots of fun and we all ate way to much. After Larry left for the night we visited with some other people that were staying at the camp grounds and shooting. I had a great time meeting some new people.
Sunday we got up early and got the camper down and ready to go before Rick had to shoot at 9:00. I am so glad we decided to do that and not wait until after the shoot ended. It was suppose to be nice out all day but the weather man was wrong! The day started out nice and everyone got to shoot 40 yards with no trouble. Then at 50 yards it really started to cloud up and then the rain came. They managed to finish 50 yards in the rain but then they had to call the shoot. It started to lighting a lot and the radar showed a huge storm coming. They just added Saturdays score with what then finished on Sunday to decide the winners. Rick ended up in 5th place in the money class. We got all our stuff packed up and made a mad dash for the truck. Thank goodness Rick had thought to put rain gear in so we did not get to wet. It poured and poured all most all the way home. I was happy when we got home that it stopped so we could get the camper unpacked.
Today I got the camper all cleaned up and Rick and I got it put down and all ready for our next camping adventure.
I also had to go to the hospital for a MRI today on both my knees. Not a happy day for me. I will blog about that after I find out the results next Tuesday.....
Later Sharon
