Back by 9Ls (maybe) Oliver clenched the wheel of his semi-trailer truck, his face tight with apprehension and knuckles white with fear (scaredy knuckles!). He pulled into the gas station, and got out of the cab. Irena was waiting by the diesel pump. "You're late", she said. "The wife" he apologized. They walked into the station store. "Stop shaking, Ollie." Oliver looked for the bathroom door, and calculated the difference between how long it'd take him to run there and how much time he had before vomiting. Irena ordered for them: two steak and egg sandwiches, one home fries. "Relax." She put her hand on his shoulder. "You're safe now." Dinertoure: The ride is free, bring small bills. RSVP to Dinerz Reckless Breakfast at the Lodj. Leave Robo 5:15 Back ~10:30 Cost $8 for dinner + $3 for concert. Ride is free. RSVP to dkick by 10AM Wednesday so we can tell the lodge.

Time: 10:00 am - 9:00 pm (somewhat flexible) Cost: free, but bring money to pay for dinner Description / Difficulty level: We'll drive up to the Lodge on Sunday morning and engage in assorted gardening activities, including: building new plots; planting flowers, squash, snap peas, and other yummy things; building trellises using downed trees we find in the woods; and tending to some of the sprouts in the new garden. Depending on interest and weather, we can also hike Moosilauke or go swimming in a nearby pond at some point as well. And then to top it all off, we'll eat a super delicious Lodge dinner (and potentially some Fat Bob's ice cream on the drive back)! No prior gardening, hiking, or delicious-food-eating experience is required!
