Official Joke Selection of Camping Weekend 2005


While the joke field this year was a little slimmer than in past years, the Official Selection has to be a classic that was retold with smashing success. Eugene, a frequent joke champion, told this year's Official Joke Selection.

A daddy mole, a mommy mole, and a baby mole were digging through some tunnels. All of a sudden, the dad mole stops, sniffs around, and says, "Huh. I think I smell McDonald's." The mommy mole also stops, sniffs around, and says, "You know what, I think I smell McDonald's too." The baby mole stops too and says, "Really? 'Cause all I smell is molasses!"

Camping Weekend Officially Rocks Again


On August 5th, 6th, and 7th, the Gisvold clan packed all of their lawn chairs and a boatload full of food and convened at Pine View Campground in Fort McCoy. Although a few party-poopers left early, a wonderful time was had by all. The campground was gorgeous, with a sand-bottomed stream just behind the campground, and the bathrooms didn't even smell too bad.

Highlights definitely included the morning and evening bugle calls, and the strong relationship Max was constantly trying to establish with Ole. Emily's recounting of her trip to Europe entertained all and allowed the family to live vicariously through her recent world-traveling experiences.

Overall, another memorable camping weekend for the books!
