Camping in Brule River State Forest

Tiny Scamp, tall pines

Russ and I took our Scamp trailer recently to northern Wisconsin for our one-and-only camping trip of the summer. We’d tried to camp earlier in the season, but had trouble making reservations in state and provincial parks because the reservations get snapped up so fast. We even woke up once before 6 a.m. to try and make a reservation but open spots were gone in seconds!

I know that the author is well-regarded, but her stories have not held up well over time. I couldn't stomach the characters' attitudes about Black people and the disabled. The stories also seem formulaic: here is the one thing a character is afraid o ...more

Quotes by Marie Zhuikov  (?)

“...Don't you ever get the feeling that for all that people try to be so civilized and sophisticated, we're really just animals pretending to be human?”
― Marie Zhuikov, Eye of the Wolf

“Her cousins laughed, daring the next wave to wash over before they passed. While they ran, a huge swell rolled along the side of the pier, fat fingers reaching up just in time to pluck them from the pier and win the macabre game of tag. Melora watched, helpless, hardly realizing the gravity of what was happening. It had all been a game. Her cousins were so good at games.”
― Marie Zhuikov, Eye of the Wolf

“The professor is stumped about why the decline is happening with the wolves and what, if anything, we can do to help them. You see, the problem is we've let nature take its course here. We observe but don't interfere. Kind of like the Prime Directive in Star Trek.”
― Marie Zhuikov, Eye of the Wolf

“‎Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
― Voltaire

“It was one of those humid days when the atmosphere gets confused. Sitting on the porch, you could feel it: the air wishing it was water.”
― Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex

“I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.”
― Anne Frank

“Hope was a luxury Melora could barely allow. It was more painful than sorrow, more hurtful than disappointment because it represented a potential: the potential for happiness. If only her happiness didn’t depend so much on other people, she’d be fine.”
― Marie Zhuikov, Plover Landing

“It had been years since Melora listened to a symphony. She had been struck by how natural and organic the music was. She found herself thinking about how the instruments were all human powered—not one electrical impulse among them. Maybe that was why it was so easy to get transported by the music—to find oneself thinking about vast outdoor landscapes when the music played.”
― Marie Zhuikov, Plover Landing
