Day 2 , by the fite

Most of the time on the road, by the time I get into a new  camp.  set up the tent, and go through the rest of the evening chores, it is too late to start a fire. But every now and then I do get one going. When I do, it is always dark. After the fire is started, I sit down near it, start playing For Alina on my iPad, and begin to scroll through the several dozen photos I have of my dogs on my iPad, my favorite companions on these road trips. It takes about 11 minutes to do this. But those 11 minutes are probably the most enjoyable moments of all my trips.

The photo is of our fire tonight.
