Feb 9-10 camping in the cold

We only went up 2 times in January, not much happened, no pics and usually a one day trip. Too cold, too depressing- go figure that out.
Hank working hard on the drive north. Don't try this at home, professional stunt dog!!!

Temps at 5AM were -12 degrees(as in minus-negative)
according to the folks at Garrett's. So by 10AM we hit a whopping 15 degrees. At least it was positive. We had the woodstove working and the kerosene heater on high to help warm it up.

By early afternoon it was popping 80 and actually got to 90 degrees before we went to bed. Kids were running around barefoot and lightly clothed. Whole house was feeling warm. Sat up on night watch and kept fire going till 2am, then kinda was too sleepy to reload it and fire went out. Temps had dropped into 50's by 5am.

Silly picture of these two goofs. Hunter was on couch and Hank on floor till I pulled out camera and then they both switched spots. Goofy dudes. They look sad cause I just told them we had to get going before the ice/rain started.
