On Saturday at Muskegon, I attempted to put up my tarp and it blew away, nearly taking me with it. After chasing it down, I decided to move inside. Thank you to all who found me despite the last minute decision. We are planning to stay inside at Muskegon with meat and apples. We will be back at Sweetwater on 11/19 and 12/17 with apples in tow and holiday roasts. See you then!
