Each year, for the past 15 years, he has put together a combination "CalRock" CD of his favorite songs of the year and a 6 page, legal size, family photos and story card. He mails this to over 200 people each year spending dozens of hours choosing songs, burning cd's, choosing and editing photos, writing stories, printing copies and mailing the finished product. http://DanceWithTheElephant.org Why does Don do it? Love... He loves music, his family, his friends, his faith and the ability to some way share his story with the many people that are a part of his life each year. Have you checked out Don and Duane's book, "Dance With The Elephant : Life's Cosmic Equation"  yet? http://DanceWithTheElephant.us It will quickly become your favorite coffee table book, one that you, your family and friends will enjoy lively discussions around.

This combination of visual and intellectual intrigue provides a boundless reference you'll enjoy time and time again. The authors weave their personal stories into the framework of a simple equation for living a more fulfilling life called, Life's Cosmic Equation. Dance with the Elephant Life's Cosmic Equation is also a self-help, self-discovery, workshop in a book, designed to connect you with the universal principles and natural forces in the world that shape your perception of reality and who you think you are.

 Sand River Hilton V (clearing trees) | File Type: video/x-flv | Duration: Unknown

Click To Play *QUICKTIME ` *Phone A year ago, the Sand River Hilton V trailer was hauled onto the property. Last spring we took a first try at leveling the 70 foot building, last fall we put in the two gas heaters and the new front door, and in this story we clear the trees around it to allow more sunlight in to keep things dry and to prevent trees from falling on the trailer. This six minute story demonstrates how to fell a tree that is only 4-6 feet away from the trailer you're trying to protect.

 Ryan Water-Crossing Snake River | File Type: video/x-flv | Duration: Unknown

Click To Play *QUICKTIME *Phone This story will provide a flash back for many who watch it. Back a dozen or so years ago, my brother-in-law and my brother were riding snowmobiles on the Snake River between Pine City, MN and Lake Pokegama... about 5 miles west of town. It was at night and my brother-in-law mistakenly went too wide on the river as he was approaching the lake and ended up driving right into open water. The video you're about to watch shows the same location he went in at but during the day. It also shows his nephew, Ryan, purposely crossing the water on his snowmobile. Here's Ryan's quote about snowmobiling on water... "When first going for it you know that if you go down there are going to be some big problems!! It was just me and Matt Furlong no other spectators except a van stopped with it's family on top of the bridge to watch. Huge risk factor on the river and it gets your heart pumping. You even get short of breath when thinking over it. BUT THE FEELING GOING ACROSS IS EXHILARATING. It was pretty neat that the snowmobile didn't slow on the water, in fact it still accelerates while going across. A few trips across later I was able to back off to half throttle."

 Waiting for the "KANSAS" Concert | File Type: video/x-flv | Duration: Unknown

Click To Play Here's a short little clip I took with my video phone just before we were headed in to see the KANSAS concert at the casino on the southwest end of Milacs Lake. Todd, Jerry, Duane, Jason and Jason's buddy Jesse. Our journey actually began back at the Sand River Hilton hunting shack where we all gathered that Friday afternoon. The picture to the left shows Jesse and Todd riding in the back seat of Duane's 1995 Cadillac. Our 65 mile road trip which took us from Sandstone through Finlayson, across to the west side of Lake Milacs and finally around the south side of Milacs through Isle, Wahkon and Cove until finally arriving at the Grand Casino. Click To Play Here's a favorite of many a KANSAS fan. Carry On Our Wayward Son. Although the video is pretty funky, I think most will enjoy the sound track. Click To Play Here Todd and Jerry chat a little about how the concert went as they leave the hall. During the concert each of us were seated in different spots scattered throughout the hall. Jesse, Jason's good buddy, made his way to the front row and before the night was over, grabbed himself one of the drummer's drum sticks as it was flying through the air. Pretty awesome if you ask me.
