In recent years Ole and Lena Swenson, of Moorhead, had decided that retirement to Cass County was a better choice, for real estate tax, and special assessments were said to be lower on the ND side of the Red River. But they needed something to do in their spare time and had found a good deal on a pop-up camper at McLachlins RV and Camper World. So they decided to see what fun they could have camping. They had heard about a nice campground south of Kindred - Pitch'n'Camp. Lena, being a stout woman, and very clean, was worried about the toilet facilities. So she wrote a letter to the campground. And being very proper she didn't want to use the word "toilet" in the letter. She preferred to use the initials L.C. which stood for "Lavatory Commode" because that's what they called it in Dilworth when she attended St Olafs Grammar School. She sent the letter and asked if the campers had access to a proper " L. C." The campground owner recognized, by the name, that Lena was certainly a Scandanavian, and therefore L. C. would certainly refer to the Lutheran Church which sat just 3 miles from the campground. So the campground wrote back...." I am happy to inform you there is an L. C. located 3 miles west of the camp on the road back to Kindred. I realize this is kind of far if you are used to going regular. It is a very popular L.C..... but only seats 122 people. The last time I went was 2 weeks ago, and it was so crowded I had to wait 10 minutes to get in a pew. It pains me that I cannot go more often, like I know I should, but it gets more difficult when you get older, especially in the winter. Some people like it so much they bring their lunch and make a day of it. Baby sitting is provided in the basement of the L. C. So, you come down and stay at our camp, and maybe we can go with you the first time to the L. C. and sit with you and I'll introduce you to all the nice folks around here, because after all Kindred is a very friendly community."
