I went to Red Pine camp for girls in Minocqua Wisconsin back in the late '60s and we had a log that we used to roll in the water you had to stand on and run without falling off! I got pretty good at it too! This story brought back some great memories

They are called lumber carnivals for a reason. No Mention of Oregon? That seems odd.

Well, we have MAGAs who think that a cultural rollback to about 1955 makes sense.
@tomgrams2333 Жыл бұрын
It's a sport! Like all the others WE do while the Chinese are doing whatever they do. Has nothing to do with going back to 1955. Look at all the sports competitions there are: besides foot, basket, base ball, soccer, swimming, la crosse, curling, skiing, skating, card game tournaments, bowling, golfing, pickleball, tennis, badminton, croquet, cricket, etc etc.....
