Well guys and gals this lady farm is traveling... in April... during planting season. Call me crazy! We planned this last minute run up to northern Michigan for "Jeep the Mac". The farm is not being neglected, not to worry. We've had a lot of rain in the last two weeks, no-till farming puts us a few days behind everyone else for fields to dry out, and all the spring spraying is complete. With cool temps in the forecast and possible rain showers we decided to just go do it!
Jeep the Mac is basically a huge gathering of Jeeps to do fun stuff together. In this case we are talking about over 600 Jeeps crossing the Mackinaw Bridge in a lovely parade, then off-roading more than 100 miles of trails on Drummond Island the next day. If you can't figure out why people think this is a super cool thing to do, don't worry, it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.
I'm a pretty savvy traveler, boasting my ability to pack for two weeks abroad, to two climates, in a carry on suitcase. I'm a packing badass, Okay? Well, not everyone is perfect. I failed today in a big way. I left home without my purse! No drivers license (nobody better rat me out to the popo), no credit cards, no cash! F*%#! I remembered to pack the blister block, the deck of cards, the wine bottle opener, and the the poo-pourri but not my damn purse?
All I can say is I'm thankful I didn't get pulled over on our 400+ mile trip and that I have awesome friends and family to cover me when I stumble in life. Not my finest moment. There. The honest truth.
