Sweet, creepy land of liberty

Today, our team met in North St. Paul (site of the windmill from last year where I, in a delirious state, was trying to figure out how much the city spent running that big, fan-like thing) and rode to Pine Point Park in Stillwater. From there, we rode on some wide-shouldered busy roads through farmland and along the St. Croix River to downtown Stillwater.

After eating lunch, we rode across the bridge to Wisconsin, rode up a big, ol' hill, and, on the way back to the Gateway Trail, rode through the ever-so-creepy Liberty on the Lake planned community. Here are some representative photos I found online.

That place freaks me out, with its faux colonial (?) architecture and pseudo downtown. I think that what weirds me out the most is that there is a school nestled in there. Do these people leave? Are their children programmed?

Yesterday, I took my bike the long way to/from Stacy's and Travis' house to help with the yard sale. I was there on Friday too (before I left to attend a most fantastic wedding). That's where I got this tattoo I was sporting today.

Just two more weekends to prepare!
