The next morning we awoke to a few inches of fresh snow. We dined on an excellent breakfast (more on food later) and then went fishing. Just a short walk from the campsite was a "honey hole" that Billy had used before and it did not disappoint. We caught a number of nice trout and kept a few for dinner.

After fishing and lunch we trekked across the lake in another direction for more wood. Billy and Hannah are great at this--not only because they can find a lot of wood but because they are very conscientious about making sure that stumps are cut off low so as not to leave unsightly human sign (and they never cut wood from near shore for the same reason). After a great deal more wood cutting (a whole sled full that was bungied to the sled and hauled back to the site by Billy) we sawed and cut a great deal more dry cedar and laid it up for the night in our two tents.

Then we went fishing as dusk neared. Hannah out-fished us all by a great amount--she even caught one that Billy had lost and the fish still sported his jig in the corner of its mouth. We made sure to stop at our limit. Hannah and I went back to get the supper cooking while Jake and Billy fished a bit longer but soon we were back in the community tent for more great food, warmth and comfort. This night held more wind, so a little less sleep but still all went well overnight for both tents.
