That is some story. I may have been tempted to speed away - but they had guns!!! I am from Michigan, and we have our kind of mafia; they are called militia. Better defined as protecting who knows what from what. I haven't visited Minnesota yet. Do you know if that park is listed in the traveler's guide?

Thanks for the comment, Joel! I have been to Michigan many times and love it, mostly the UP. Oregon has the Oregon Militia too... not sure what they're aims are other than militiaing.

I have searched for the park on Google Maps AND mapquest and can't find it. It was more of a wayside park... it may be gone since it has been 20 years. Yikes.

Can't believe smile & wave works in basically any situation! I laughed at "One smiled and waved back. I liked that one."

That... is wild. 😄 A story worthy of the Midwest version of The Wire. (Would that be The Bailing Cord? The Binder Twine? I kid, I kid. I'd absolutely watch it.)

I like The Bailing Cord! I think most of my Substack will be stories of how I got myself into stupid situations 😅
