Ahh, Another Year at Sweet Minihaha

This past weekend, we traveled a long journey down to Albany/Broadhead to spend another fabulous weekend at Sweet Minihaha Campground. We arrived Friday and some of us were able to get our tents up before it rained, but luckily, we had three awnings to hide under until the rain finally let up around 10pm. Then we got the fire going and had a great night.

Saturday of course was absolutely beautiful for our 5 hr tubing trip. The river was pretty high due to all the rain on Thursday night and it was moving pretty briskly!! It was the quickest moving river I think I've ever tubed down. After we got everyone tied together and loaded into the water, we were on a crash course through the downed trees. There weren't many places to stop but we did find a few on the side. All in all it took about 5 hours or so.


We got back to the camp site and after some wild Barney shenanigans, we ended up having a really great afternoon and night. We were packed and gone by 8am (late this year!) Sunday morning and I think everyone had a fabulous time!

I'm bringing back a little segment I like to call "Cheer and Jeers." Its hard to talk about every detail on these trips but here are some of the highlights:



  • Cheers to Kevin for bringing a couple awnings, we would have had a really wet Friday night otherwise

  • Cheers to the Bublitz's and crew for making the long 2-4 hour journey to spend a weekend with us! Thanks for coming!


  • Jeers to Jeremy for starting such a dumb ass game called Bombardment! Ass! If you 've never heard of this game, after you finish a beer can, you yell "Bombardment" and then proceed to chuck your empty can at some unsuspecting person. Not cool!


  • But Cheers to Hot Cheese for throwing a direct hit on Jeremy's nose/face. Take that!

  • Cheers to my new bf Rick for professing his love for me to my ex :)

  • Cheers to Nancie and Patty for organizing the tent set up to make sure we were the farthest away from the snorers as possible




  • Jeers to Barney for dropping my burger on the charcoal! What the hell were you thinking?!

  • Jeers to us for letting Barney be the grill master only 1/2 hr before he passed out drunk. What the hell were WE thinking?!

  • Cheers to Barney for being so wasted that you passed out on the grass and rolled over a dirty plate. It was very entertaining



  • Jeers to Sweet Minihaha staff for not getting those bathrooms in any better shape! I think they were actually worse than last year!

  • Cheers to Greta for making pudgy pies with me Saturday night--Yummy!



  • Cheers to Patty for single-handily saving us from a few trees in the river by holding on and shot gunning us around the corner!

  • Cheers to Billy for making the trek down to just go tubing then go home.

  • Jeers to Egner and Dan for not showing up, your loss!

  • Cheers to Patty and Nancie for NOT silly stringing me in the middle of the night!

  • Jeers to Barney and Lundo for continuing to be the loudest MF'ing snorers I have ever heard in my life.



  • Finally, cheers to all who attended, it was a blast!
