Elkhorn, the best there is

A little late this post. A few weeks ago we headed north to Wisconsin for the mother of all fleas, Elkhorn.

Amount spent: $61
Amount found on ground: $5
Items obtained: 8
(a humidor, a citrus juicer, a glass ice bucket, 2 turn of the century mason jars, a glass cigar jar [it was a cigar motif], a small jadeite bowl and a vintage scale).
Sunburns: 2 Massive near 3rd degree burns were sustained on the back of JC's neck and the backs (only) of my legs. How one accomplishes this without walking backwards all day remains unclear.
No. of comments on JC's flamingoes: 17

Where Elkhorn kills the competition:
a) bathrooms -- clean, indoors, actual flushing toilets. charmin to go not required.
b) brats -- yummy and the line is never long. see sandwich july 2009 for comparison.
c) bpavement -- (the 'b' is not in fact silent. i really wanted the alliteration.) the grounds at elkhorn are paved which makes for most excellent OLC manuevering and hauling ass back to either a) or b) and/or the Potts ice cream sign vendor.

Sadly i seem to have misplaced my photos of the event so this post will need to be updated. Stay tuned.
