Just the highlights..............

We definitely did the "tent stumble" Friday night as Mike decided he needed to park his truck inside our tent frame until he was unpacked and his stuff all set up including blowing up his air mattress. That made for good entertainment. We didn't do any better as after he was done we managed to set up our tent up inside out!! It was all good though and appies were cooking shortly after for a late night snack.

One of the best parts of the trip for me was waking up early Saturday to it snowing and walking down to soak in the hot tub. The mountains packed with fresh snow,the tubs to myself, and me wearing my full birthday suit and snow swirling down.

The rest of the day was filled with hot tubs and appies, fire wood hunting, and Tom trying some snow wheeling and stuck on some rock by camp.

Saturday a few other people showed up at the tubs. They were impressed with the tent set-up but it's like I tell them I can't take credit for it. Yes it's my tent but this is a group effort and everyone has a hand in making this a fun trip. It's just like camping in the summer, everyone pitches in. From set up to take down the tent needs to be worked. The prep before we leave, food purchase, setting up the tent, cooking, fire wood, cooking, cleaning, cooking, lifting the beer one at a time, cooking, take the tent down, packing the trailer, lifting more beer.

I knew it was time to go to bed on Saturday night when I was having a hard time staying vertical! On the third fall it was time to call it a night. The stove is next to the door in the tent and when we set up the stove on the snow it melted to the ground making a 4" drop that was getting progressively harder to negotiate as the night wore on. I fell into the stove twice and once at the tubs. The tub fall was even more embarrassing because I was reaching into the change room to hang my housecoat and fell naked backwards off the wooded walk way into a rocky cold puddle.

It snowed pretty much the entire time we were up at the tubs and because it was a wet snow there was a bit of concern on the road out. People that had chains used them. I tried something a little different by using poly rope wrapped around my rear tires and it seemed to do the trick.

Everyone had a great time and we were once again having fun in B.C.!

Until the next trip..................
