Camping in the cabin of fire

I volunteered to take the YW (all three of them) to the Stake Youths camping trip up in Raymond, NH where the church has a camp with cabins and a lake and such. It was a perfect chilly fall campout, and our cabin came equipped with a wood stove which I had roaring well into the night until it felt like Phoenix AZ on a July midday. The next day we helped take the docks out of the lake for the winter and then went for a hike to a lovely but closed weather tower.

I struggle with camping menus because I'm always trying to find the balance between deliciousness, healthiness, and easiness. I think I balanced it just right this time. For dinner we procured hot subs from the local subway. For breakfast we ate bagels and cream cheese and scrambled eggs and sausage (I did bring my camp stove). For lunch we had PBJ bagels and a variety of snacks and fruit and veggies.

In Fourteen Hundred and Ninety Two...

We took a Columbus Day hike to Bear Hill Tower in the Fells. The frigid air held the promise of warmth in the sunbeams that hit our backs.
