Great pics as always! I just love looking through them over and over and reliving all of the great fun we had.

I would definitely be up for doing this run again Toad. Next time we'll bring wood for a real fire, although the fire looks really good in WoL's pic, doesn't it? It's amazing what a bunch of resourceful jeepers can do in the middle of nowhere.

Sorry guys but I should point out that the original post was actually missing about 6 paragraphs that I missed and have since been added so if you could, you really should give it another look as it reads much more complete now
