Dump Day

Today we *finally* made it to the Porterfield Dump.*

This has been a much-anticipated trip; David Giebler has been promising us a trip to the dump since we moved here in August. The Porterfield Dump is an institution. Much like the highly-regarded Micky-Lu's, the dump is a place that really cannot be well explained without a proper visit. We went, we hunted, and we gathered. Among the list of things we found: vintage 1960s light fixtures, a bar stool of the same era, and an enormous cooler for our trips to Woodmans. (We also found Art and Katherine Holman. Just back from their 3-months trip to Myanmar, Bali, and the land of their new granddaughter, we got to be among the first to welcome their tanned selves back in the North Woods.)

Here are some pictures to help tell the story of our adventures.


























*For those of you not from around here, Porterfield is a small town (population 1,991) 13 miles northeast of Marinette. Home of the Porterfield Country Music Festival (this year, featuring Billy Ray Cyrus and Kellie Pickler).
