Lake Ste Kathryn trail clearing

On Thursday with some good trail clearing weather in our forecast, we headed south to Lake Ste Kathryn to camp there and hopefully finish the clearing of the Deer Marsh trail found there.

Trails mutts do like fall camping.

Lake Ste Kathryn is the best!

Lets go look at the lake. We do like water!

In the afternoon, we head out to do some clearing.

This is the last section to clear here,
we've been working on it all summer.

We stop for a cool dip in the marsh.
Come in and join us!  Its great!

They didn't, so the two legged members got to work.

And a lopping they go.

The trail work moves right along,
since there isn't all that much brush here.

The puppy is running in the woods, while older mutts lay near by.

Late in the day, we hike out.

This canopy keeps the cool breeze and rain out.
Turns out, that thing might be the best camp comfort item
we bought this entire summer.

Puppies watch for chipmunks.
With just two other campers here, dogs roam free.

A banner year for acorns?

With the days being shorter, food is now prepared in the dark.

Camp fire meals.

Steak!  We'll get the scraps.
