Sweetland Orchard is a little family farm and cidery thirty five miles south of Minneapolis. To get there you take a dirt road that is sentineled by cats. When I arrived, a border collie came over and gently laid a pine cone at my feet. I understand the language of dogs, so I threw it as far as I could. The pine cone soon manifested itself back at my feet.

Not all Halloween season attractions have to have hockey masked actors and ghoulish special effects around every other corner. Sometimes the best way to celebrate the autumnal spirit is with a pleasant trip to somewhere wholesome, replete with hay bale castles, a practically limitless supply of pumpkins, and a cannon designed to fire them as far as a mile away where they explode on impact.

“My greatest jump in the Army? OK,” said Hans Nielsen, board member at Skydive Fargo. “It was an early morning dive, just south of Mount Kenya. Our plane had slowed down to 130 knots, and I and the 62 other men in my unit were all jumping out, one by one. While we were in midair, a herd of about 100 zebra, spooked by our plane’s shadow, all charged across our landing zone. They were long gone by the time we hit the ground, but I’ll never forget the sight of them as we floated down from the sky.”
