You know it’s cold when you’re trying to brush your teeth outside the tent, and you find that the toothpaste is so cold it will not come out of the tube. While Dan was trying to get his boat ready it began snowing. The ground is wet and muddy, regular mud is bad enough, but this is red clay. The dog is beginning to look like a rust colored cocker spaniel.
This afternoon we went out to check some launch ramps, and get groceries. It gets so dark outside and cold once the sun goes down that we decided to cook a one pan meal for dinner – Dinty Moore beef stew. We ate in the tent so it would stay warm, and it was pretty good.
