Another Winter Picnic

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to go on yet another winter picnic with Lois and Jamey Fite.  We bushwhacked into a river east of town, looked for a down log to sit on, and gathered fire wood.  It was a beautiful trek in and a terrific picnic spot. 

Snowshoeing in....

There were several HUGE white pine trees!

The river was beautiful...

There was a lot of dead wood in the area, so it wasn't too difficult to gather enough wood for cooking.

Beaver likes swimming in the river -- even in the winter!

To gather more wood it was necessary to put the snowshoes back on.  The snow was around two feet deep, but some of the drifts were three or four feet deep.

Cooking...

I didn't take photos of all the food courses, but we had shrimp cocktail, chips, organic food coop chicken legs, organic food coop multi-colored carrot slivers, potatoes, and green beans with almonds.

While snowshoeing out Lois found a cool beaver stick....
