Code Camp 07/20/07
For those of you who don't know what a code camp is, it is basically just a bunch of developers getting together outside of work to discuss no things in the programming world.
Well our programming team actually went camping this weekend. There wasn't much talk of code, but we did have a lot of fun. Friday night we headed to Fond Du Lac campground just outside of Duluth. It was a decent site and we got to stay right on the St.Louis River.
Saturday morning we got up had breakfast and warmed up around the campfire after a cold night of sleep. We then headed to the beach in Duluth. Never thought I would be swimming in Lake Superior, but we dared it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We all took naps on the beach since it was warm enough for us finally to sleep.
After that we headed north to Lutsen hitting Goosberry Falls State Park and Teteguchie State Park. We stayed at Lamb's Resort just south of Lutsen. This site was pretty crowded but suited us well. Did the campfire thing the rest of the night. Sunday morning we went canoeing in a big canoe for all 6 of us on the Poppler River. There was some nice scenery and no one got tossed overboard.
The trip was about over after that. It was time to head back to the real world and get our fingers back on the keyboard. I did make one final stop in the Superior National Forest, drove in few miles, had one last beer overlooking the forest and Lake Superior, it was nice.
I uploaded pics from the trip onto my Flickr account. [click here]
