Back from the great outdoors

Here we all are gathered around the campfire our last night. Back row from left to right is Makita, Jessi, Mike and myself. Front row from left to right is Chaun, Goose, Dave and Ellie. We had a great time. We had three big fish frys and lots of other good eats. Neil (a.k.a. Goose) was the designated baker and he did a bang up job. He made a blueberry pie, a giant oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, dream bars and a Boston creme pie. One night Ellie surprised us with french fries. This is quite a feat considering we have no refrigeration therefore all of our food is freeze dried.


We saw a lot of wildlife, including a radio collared wolf. That was very cool. He came out one afternoon and took a drink in the lake very near us.

If you look close you'll see a bald eagle on the top of one of these trees.
We had two large snapping turtles (Rex and Rebba) that hung around one day. Here's Rex's mug shot.

Goose took this photo of the butterfly.

Ellie saved this young bird (Chirper). He was bobbing around out in the middle of the lake.
Check out the Slideshow on the left hand side of my blog with all our photos.
