03/05/2013 09:32AM Thanks Soledad. We were going to set up on the lake but there was a lot of slush that would have made things very difficult and wet. All wood was fallen, dead trees and we covered up the fire with snow when we left. One can always improve each trip out. I wanted to show that "winter camping" can be fun, not just work. I hope you like the video. |

03/05/2013 07:48AM Thanks for posting your pictures, I look forward to the video. Next time please try to follow the rules a little better: "•Fires are allowed within the steel fire grates at designated campsites or as specifically approved on your visitor's permit. " Choose a Campsite • On the ice, in a protected bay, or in a natural forest opening such as a swamp. • At least 150-200 feet from trails, summer campsites or other groups. • Make just one trail connecting the shoreline to camp. • Bury human waste in snow 150-200 feet from water, campsites, summer trails and portages (pack out toilet paper). Campfires It is preferable to make a campfire on the ice to minimize fire scars on rocks and shorelines. Use base logs or a portable fire pan for your campfire on the ice. Use a campstove or fire pan for a campfire on land to avoid leaving fire scars on vegetation or rocks. • Collect only dead and down wood far from shorelines, trails or campsites. • Make sure your fire is out cold to the touch when you leave. • Scatter ashes in the woods away from the shoreline and cover the campfire scar with snow. |

03/04/2013 12:55PM Looks like a great time. I like Angleworm and have camped there a couple times in winter. Pretty lake. Surprised to see the guy in BDUs. Not the warmest thing to wear but to each his own. |
