2017-12-09 10.41.30.jpg A word of advice when leaving for a hike, make sure you didn't leave the owner of a fuchsia daypack back at DaShack

Lonely campfire at Da Shack just waiting for night to fall and fun to begin:

My new WBBB XLCv2's first hang. The vents at the head and foot ends of the topcover worked very well. Very little condensation inside at 15º outside.

Da Shack - warm people inside when it's cold outside.

Can't decide who wants out of the truck more (Doc or Karla) as we head for the Ice Age Trail hike.

Nothing like a gourmet grilled cheese sammich after a brisk hike.

Those grilled cheese sammiches were delicious, thanks for making them 'tooner!

My wife asked me to make some for supper tonight after I told how many were made for yesterday's lunch and how fast they disappeared. Yummy!

Much Love to everyone who I had the privilege to hang out with this weekend, and big thanks to Mr. and Mrs Tumble. The location was beautiful, and the food was just right!

Here's the Google Photos album of pretty much my entire payload of photos (and a few video clips) The link will allow you access to the photos at full resolution. (I believe the forum photo engine will compress the few I will attach below). Feel free to add your own photos if you are into the Google Photos thing. Also if there is anything here that you would like removed (did I accidentally catch you mid yawn in the background somewhere?) please let me know.
