Campfire Shots

Our annual guys weekend. Always a dozen or so of us every May in Ontario.

One of my absolute favorites - steak cooked on a rock

You guys have been lucky to have campfires

In much of the western states, the off and on again burn bans unfortunately have killed the tradition of campfires and open flame cooking

Dinner at Tangle Creek, 2012. Steak and Beans, of course!

What an absolutely stunning spot! Very jealous of that location/camp fire. I cannot wait for some cooler weather in Texas for a nice fire.

 

[Trail Talk]

Our rig was at the trailhead two days away when we had this cozy camp along the Whirlpool River in Jasper National Park a week ago. Late season meant absolutely no one else was out so we enjoyed the solitude and unusually pleasant weather.



The view out our front window...



Our trip came to a premature end when we encountered this creek crossing. I knew the bridge had washed out several years ago but others had successfully crossed in late season when water levels usually drop. Unfortunately our spell of warm weather meant flows from the upstream glacier were higher than normal and silty waters obscured the boulder-covered bottom. I went in to test the footing and quickly retreated.



Time for another fire!
