Bill and I decided last year that we were going to go to Castle Danger, Minnesota. Now I know what your thinking what is Castle Danger and why there? Well Bill was watching a show and how the picked the place they were going was they threw a dart at a large map and went where ever it landed. So, there you go that's what we did minus the dart and add a finger and closed eyes. Therefore Castle Danger here we go. After googling it I found out there really is only a brewery there so needless to say that's where we were going to go. Two days before we were scheduled to leave (July 5th) Bill came to me and said that we should go all the coast to coast. Therefore plans changed. The new plan was to hopefully Maine. We were going to leave on July 5th -13th. However, Bill came home on July 3rd from Fire Practice and asked what was stopping us from leaving on July 4th. I said him with working with the fire department and he said nope not this year. Therefore things changed and there we go we left a day early.
