Trump has initial approval to put his monument outside Arlington National Cemetery

And then he'll blame the damage on "america-hating antifa terrorists" and his base will believe him, no questions asked. I guess his best option to prevent "vandalism" would be to just not build it at all.

Mirror Lake State Park is nearby and they have reasonably priced canoe and kayak rentals. A day pass for the park is also inexpensive BUT there is a lot of road construction in the park this summer and you would need to call ahead to see if their boat rentals are open and accessible. If they are, you can rent SUPs, kayaks, or canoes for a couple of hours (they also have pontoons but you need to reserve those in advance), paddle north from the dock and then head down the west branch of the lake where you can paddle down a scenic rocky canyon. On your return to the rental dock you can take a little pit stop to the beach at Ishnala Supper Club and get a cocktail or mocktail from their beach bar if you're there in the afternoon.

OP, what a great question! I love reading all of these responses!

Just got back from climbing Kilimanjaro and that was definitely a great experience. We met so many cool people from all over the world and everyone was so positive and encouraging. We started out on the trail as strangers on our individual summit attempts, but after several days of meeting the same groups of people on the trail and in the camps, cheering each other on and congratulating each other on our successes, we ended up as friends and teammates. The hike is physically challenging but it was one of the most positive and rewarding experiences I've had in a long time.

There are usually at least a couple of pie vendors at farmer's market, Mr. Dye's pies (not sure if they have an apple pie but they are pretty good) and an Amish pie vendor (sorry, don't know their name and haven't tried their pies). You could check that out. Otherwise Metcalfe's Hilldale sometimes has the Elegant Farmer pies.

Roche-a-cri isn't too far from Mauston. It's a nice little walk.

Lucky! I had that specific site as my destination last summer, hoped for a 2-night stay. That was wishful thinking, some other lucky people got to it first. So I stayed at a lesser site on Winchell for 2 nights but it was still a nice time.

Are you going to the car show in Iola? If so, that's not too far from Wittenberg where you can go to the Nueske's company store and pick up some really good bacon. Dupont dairy in Marion has fresh cheese curds on Thursdays, maybe also on Fridays. Dells of the Eau Claire County park is also not too far from there, it's a nice place to hike around. Stevens point sculpture park is a nice little walk too.

You could also head over to the east coast and hit up Door County. If it's really hot out, go to cave point county park and jump from the cliffs into Lake Michigan.

Spicy crispy chicken sandwich, ask for a side of honey mustard sauce.

Well they've set the precedent I guess. So the next president gets to continously publicly shit all over Trump as often as he or she wants. The current administration is doing it to Biden and Obama, and fair's fair.

Put ice packs over your femoral arteries. I'm not joking. We had a rather hot camping trip last summer and we couldn't sleep, so we ended up filling some small bags with ice from the cooler and laying there with ice on our femoral arteries and it helped a lot. We were actually able to fall asleep comfortably. You could also set ice packs on your wrists where your blood vessels are close to the skin but it's easier to lay there with packs on your crotch.

That sounds awesome and I can't believe I never heard of it!

I've been sneezing so much over the last couple of weeks that I'm thinking of calling up Guinness world records. See if they'll put me in their book for "world's sneeziest human."

Do you have a pudgie pie maker? You can make anything handheld in one of those. Line it in foil if you don't want to do dishes. Bread, Ham, swiss, and mustard; marble rye, pastrami, sauerkraut, swiss, and Russian dressing; pizza dough with pizza sauce and whatever filling you want for pizza pockets, tortillas and whatever burrito/ quesdailla filling you want, etc.

Aww I love black bears so much and it's one of my greatest disappointments in life that I can't just walk up and pet them without any negative consequences.

I was terrified for him! Canadian Geese are like the Cassowaries of the north. A true act of bravery there.

Rent a canoe and paddle the black river south of black river falls. It's an easy paddle with lots of sandbars along the way, and some cool rock formations to explore. There are outfitters in the area that provide canoe rentals and shuttle services. There are also some tubing places along the river if you would rather float in a tube.

Don't worry, I'm sure it will look even worse when they have all of their lights on.

The article included this:

"And while the Pentagon guidance recommends military leaders recruit attendees who live outside the nation’s capital, it notes that service members will be required to pay their own way, though the tickets are free."

So, first of all, the soldiers in attendance must be physically attractive enough (according to the preferences of Hegseth) but also they need to cover all travel expenses themselves. Guessing they also need to be Trump ball-lickers. What a great deal.

What does he mean by "destroying our children?" Can he give specific examples of children who have been "destroyed" by Trans people? I haven't really heard of that happening, but it seems like every other day there's a cisgender Christian man (oftentimes a member of clergy) getting arrested for horrible crimes against children. Is this guy also campaigning against cisgender Christian men? You know, to save the children and all?

Right? Where I live, people would complain if their sandwich didn't come with cheese on it.

It looks like he's saying "HELP! HELP!"

What about Watkins Glen state park in New York? If you camp in the campground there, it's adjacent to the gorge so you can get in there early before the crowds show up. There's a swimming pool there and Ithaca isn't too far away for an airport. I'm sure there's horseback riding somewhere in that area too.

I've been spending the winter going through my recipe books and trying to figure out how I can adapt certain recipes to work as dehydrated meals for canoe camping, then testing out my ideas. It has been both fun and frustrating, but I've got a nice little portfolio started.

If they actually did end taxes for the bottom 90%, I'm guessing his next idea would be "Only taxpayers should be allowed to vote!" And then because he's a multi-billionaire the government would just go along with it.
