Elk River Trail, Part Deux

Back to last weekend's adventure...

6. How to create a "Bum Fire" in three easy steps:
A. Find an old can and punch holes in the bottom.

B. Make sure air passes through the holes...try blowing in them!

C. Viola! A Bum Fire...and its Leave No trace too!

7.What's for dinner? Jan packed awesome meals for the trip and we enjoyed chicken alfredo, chedder biscuits, and lemon bars for dinner. No, we didn't wait until dark to cook...it gets dark at 5:30 in the winter!

8. Off to bed. Jessica and Lecia discuss the finer points of staying warm that night.


9. Make sure to always keep your campsite clean. HA! It looks like we were planning to stay for a week! (I wish). Yes that's me on the left knitting...he, he, he.


10. Take a luxury item with you for fun...so Libby...how is that knitting coming???


11. Make sure you have friends along to help with the load. Tracey helps Lecia get loaded up for the hike out.


12. Grab a boyscout at the trail head to take a final picture.
