After each interaction both sides rate the other, and the visit, the guests rate the host and vice versa.
It is very safe, and a very cheap way to travel, stay overnight, and meet nice people.

A friend who is an experienced couch surfer himself set this up for me. He travels everywhere by couchsurfing to save bucks, and due to the review system, it is so vetted that it is just about impossible to get a bad apple, He himself has 28 positive ratings in a row as a couchsurfing guest. 🙂

It went very, very nicely with the girls! So “Minnesota nice,” as they say, typical Upper Midwesterners. They even made me oatmeal with blueberries and peanut butter, too. 😉
.
.
They are here from Minnesota to hike in the Porcupine Mountains Park and see the Lake of the Clouds just west of here, about a twelve-mile drive along gorgeous Lake Superior.
.
Ontonagon. my town, is the dot in the outline of the UP.
.
It struck me also, watching these girls set up their tent and pack their backpacks, how much more advanced “camping” is now then when I was out “in the field” in the service 1977-83 (Marines and Army National Guard).
.
No more heavy, leaky canvas tents — everything now is super-lightweight, made of totally waterproof nylon (or whatever the textile is).
.
No heavy wooden tent poles either — ultralight, telescoping, connectible thin tubes that snap together to give the tent a backbone.
.
Water for drinking is sterilized instantly by ultraviolet light; one just sticks the battery-powered ultraviolet-light “pen” into it and blasts the water for 30 seconds.

These nice gals sent me a postcard to thank me. That was really sweet. Here it is (with their names whited out –just first initials — and nothing strictly personal in there).
.
They mention the Lake of the Clouds, and the Escarpment Trail. (An escarpment, ahem, is a slope between two levels.)

Reverse of the card

I wrote them back:
.
Dear E and S,
I got your card and am so happy things went well. It was delightful having you here and getting to converse a bit!
And the last time I got a hug from two winsome young things was in 1985!
I also looked up the word “escarpment,” so now I know of your death-defying feat!
I am glad also the Lake of Clouds was not cloudy.
All the best, and come again!

The taller girl in the photo, on the right, a former girl scout, btw, and also a card-carrying liberal pacificist, and thus an arche typical Minnesota Swedish-German girl, once as a young adult taught music in Tanzania, over in Black Africa.

.
She said the Tanzanians were very racist against her because she is white.
.
I asked if it was a muslim and thus anti-American area and she said “no, and I was helping the local kids, and I spoke their language, Swahili.” She seemed rather bothered by the unfairness of it all. Her silence spoke volumes.
.
I said, well, the Germans left Tanzania as colonialists in WWI, a hundred years ago, and the Brits left as colonial masters fifty years ago, so what is their beef against the Whites now?
And don’t they get huge revenues from European tourists? [I did not point out, of course, that much of it is sex tourists, which middle-aged white European women wanting a fling with a supposedly well-hung, passionate negro.].
.
She said, “Oh, yes, they get a lot of tourists from Europe.”
.
But then she fell very silent. I guess maybe she was having bad memories, and thinking forbidden thoughts.
.
She could have spoken them, though. I have a big Trump sign right outside my door. 😉
LOL – the two girls had apparently absolutely no idea, nor did I let on, “who I really am.” 😉

It was also so striking to see two perfect examples of nordic “young souls” in terms of reincarnation.
.
On the one hand, such sweet, idealistic, friendly, charming, conscientious and perfect guests. Girls any man would love to have as daughters.
.
On the other — totally programmed liberals. And what is a young soul? They accept or reject truths depending on their feelings.
Like a girlfriend of Margi’s, who, when she laid out the facts about the US government involvement in 9/11, exclaimed: “I would hate to think our government could do such a thing.” And with that, case closed. 😉
.
Like a dog stealing a hot, cooked steak off the dining room table of the humans step out for five minutes. He knows it is wrong, and it will end up badly for him, but he feels like it and he does it anyway. 😉

Many young souls who are nordics now were dogs in a previous life — so loyal and helpful.

May the gods protect them from the worst in the future. I hope they find nice and protective husbands and have beautiful babies.

But for that I have to do my job, creating a new Aryan heroic religion. We cannot count on such females to wake up in time or even be able to change anything. And no, Donald Trump will not save us. 😉 In the end, his ego and desire to win will leads him to sell out all his core principles and do what the Jews want.
.
Now he is giving teleprompter speeches like all the rest.
