Another great day

After getting the Alpine fired up and hauling in the stove we stoked it up. It warmed things up very quickly, burns great and is surprisingly simple.

I spent the afternoon watching the stove, drinking tea and snowshoeing. It was a beautiful day to be out. Temp was about -15 to -20. It was overcast but the hoar frost in the trees more than made up for the lack of sunshine.

The ski trails were quite busy with lots of people interested in what was going on over in "Ken's Prairie".
Ken was one of the previous land owners, avid outdoorsman and long time friend of my father inlaw. Ken was also a skier who as a teacher spread his love of the sport. I would like to think he would approve of the use his land is now seeing supporting skiing and other outdoor activities.

The next outing will be an overnighter at Ken's Prairie perhaps setting up some smaller tents in the field around HQ.
