Weekend with goats!

We spent the weekend camping with goats or at a Hipcamp with goats in Preston, MN
This guy wanted extra attention! 

 
All the baby goats


The grown up goats! We learned so much about goats! 


We had to do some 4 wheeling to get through their woods on the ATV trails to get to our campsite. 

They had 2 campsites and a cabin in the woods. All very spaced out! I was a little concerned about the falling black walnuts hitting my car. They were coming down every where and it was loud and they are BIG! Like base ball sized! We did find an okay spot to park that wasn't under one of those trees. We still covered the car with the inner tubes, extra air mattress and sleeping bags just in case. I didn't want to wake up to dents all over my car! 
We did some biking 10 miles along a new to us section of the trail. No electric bike this time, but it sure would have been nice to bike farther with it! We noticed more people had electric bikes then not! I think Steve is getting more and more convinced to just get one! Sure it's not a lot of exercise, but you can see so much more of the trails! 


Stopped at the winery and were all tasty. This place was called Sugar Hills. Very good wine and just opened 3 years ago so were still in the process of building a tasting room. 

Friday night we always go to the local brewery in Fountain and have pizza. This time a band was also playing and we shared a slice of strawberry rhubarb home made pie. 

The hip camp also had ducks and chickens. 

We stopped at ZZ tap in Campton. Had to get a cheap $2.50 beer and of course get some photos! 

Most delicious item, pork tenderloin fried with sweet soy/garlic sauce! 

Our hip camp map with all the trails and camp sites. I think we were in site #1 and 3 was the cabin. 
Our tent set up in the woods. There was dirt all around us, so glad I had all the carpets! It also didn't rain or things could have gotten muddy!!

Prime rib dinner we were waiting for at the Branding Iron restaurant in Preston. Sooo good! We shared a meal since we had an appetizer at another place before dinner.
