Goin' Rural fo' Ryan

Over the river, through the woods, round the bend, round another bend, and another. Stop. Turn around. Take the right bend . . . drive 5 m.p.h in the rainy dark until a crazy farmer waves with a flashlight!

Thus began my trip to New Matamoras, OH to visit with Ryan and Amy. Despite very heavy rain (and MUD), and one wrong turn, I had a great visit at the Organic Dairy. Liberal conversation - aided by a little too much tequila - stretched long into both nights and made me wish such good friends lived closer.

In short: Drove a lot. Ate well, reminisced, talked about the future, waded through mud, fed calves, learned about organic dairy, waded through more mud, went #2 in a bucket, met some really nice people, and spent an awesome 2 nights in a Winnebago. Drove more. Returned to Baltimore. Fell asleep!
