First Sleep Test In RV 
After several toturous days of server reloads and other problems,
Spent the day cleaning out Rangenet's Shop today. Helped John get his stuff in the morning, and then Jim and his crew grabbed everything else. Most of it junk, but oh well... Finally got a chance to bring Jims Kids out to Sparta Pit they did some great 12 foot cliff jumps+ rock wall climbing!

Slept in the RV in their Driveway... Went o.k. didn't sleep great, but might be able to once we get used to it...

Big Rangenet Final Move 
Long Day. Woke up at 5:45am, was on the road by 6am. Drove 60 miles to Virginia,MN. Shutdown and loaded up 4 servers destined for the cities and took off South. Tried to help Matt setup temporary servers while driving down to cities. Arrived at Onvoy at 10:30am Got mailserver up by 11am, Rangenet website by 11:30 and then customer websites by about 1. Went to matt's apartment to finish cleaning things up. at 8pm brought matt out to dinner, and then headed back home. arrived after midnight. about 19 hours and more than 500 miles! Miranda was a huge help by driving down there.

Surfing in Lake Superior on Park Point 
Laura, Miranda and I had the rare treat of 2ft waves in the middle of July on Lake Superior.. normally it has to be early spring or late fall for the waves to be surfable. Although they were small, the girls were stoked and had a good time!! Here is a video of Miranda and Laura showing their stuff: SURF VIDEO!(9mb)

Ore-Be-Gone Scuba Diving Encore 
Joe needed to go up north for work and Matt was in town, so the three of us went scuba diving at Ore-Be-Gone. There's a lot of neat stuff down there to look at, plus we saw fish all over.
-Miranda

Miranda got frightened by a railway cart underwater!! Giant man-eating-pit-sharks dont bug her, but an old rusty immobile cart does?! gofigure.

We don't look very enthused...

Pattison State Park 
My Mum, Miranda, Odie and I found 3 GeoCaches south of Superior, and then visited Pattison State Park quick. Nice looking area, but swimming lake was hugely busy.

The path we took at the State Park ended in this small river.

Nice head shot of Odie while he was in the river.
