Ok Sadie, it is time to settle down and go to sleep, it's bedtime. Sadie, at bedtime:
Well, I'm home now. A huge snowstorm ripped through the BWCA, covering my site and all surrounding area in a foot of wet heavy snow. It buried and soaked any potential firewood. I had to evac. Was still very pretty.
Setting myself up for comfort. I'm packing this 30L gear crate FULL of just add water foods, snacks, seasonings, and such. Heading up tomorrow!

Humblebrag moment. I meticulously measured all of the photo gear I wanted to bring on this trip as well as potential future trips. I found exactly one case that seemed to fit the bill. It arrived today, and, well... I did pretty dang good at measuring.
