We were determined to stay
at camp today to just relax and enjoy a quiet day at our beautiful
campsite. Francis spent time on his writing and I did some reading
and worked on the car organization. We keep trying to find just the
right system to store everything but the truth is we just have too
much stuff in too little space.
Before we knew it, it was
time to make dinner. We decided to grill a couple of steaks. We left
our small grill at home because we did not have room for it but we
came up with a simple solution using a metal rack from a filing
cabinet. We came up with this idea on one of our earlier backpacking
trips. We wanted to eat well but we needed minimal equipment. We
modified the method to use charcoal instead of a wood fire and it
works perfectly with very little fuel. In no time, we had a great
meal of steak and grilled vegetables.
Since we arrived at this
campsite, the night skies have been incredible. Francis was
disappointed last year when we visited because the skies had not
quite lived up to his expectations but not this year. He was
determined to get photos of the breathtaking sight using his cell
phone. Unfortunately, no matter what he tried, the camera on his
phone could not capture the stars.
