A beautiful camp site and a wonderful day by the lake.

I make out the service $8 fee form for today. That way I'll stay another day. I go down to use the pit toilet around the corner. Just as I get there, a little boy from the trailer next door darts in it. I go to the entrance of the camp area and use that one. If there is anything worth the eight bucks it's the pit toilets and the toilet (3 rolls) paper. I take a short hike down a trial to the lake to wash up. The long wide lake is calm. Blue skys, no clouds, it's gonna make a nice day. The other way from the lake, down the hill, is a small pond with lily pads. I hike back to my #15 camp site and make hot water for instant coffee. I heat up the left over stew from last night in a large coffee pot I bought for $20 in Helena. It just barely fits on my propane burner stove. Now, what do I eat out of if I'm drinking coffee from my metal cup. I'm gonna sort out the stuff in my back pack.

Last Nights Menu (two items)

(1) Nathan's Stew

3 carrots - cut into pieces
3 potatoes - dices
1/2 onion -diced
1/2 lb hamburger
2 hot dogs - sliced (for salt flavor)

Boil 1/2 pot of water and ingredients, cook for 1 hour. Mmmm. (I forgot any seasonings like salt and pepper)

(2) Can 'O Chili. Heated up.

Stew's a little bland but tastes better the next morning.
