A Needed Break

We're headed out to Stormer Lake tomorrow. The people who live there wanted to go to Winnipeg for a few days and needed someone to tend the camp. The place runs on woodfire and generators, so it can't be left to freeze. (And it would surely freeze in this nippy weather.)

Also, during most of the year, people stay at the camp on their way in and out from a couple reserves. So someone needs to be there for that. They're not getting many guests right now since the lakes are frozen, but not enough for the winter road. But some are going in and out by snowmobile.

Anyway, so that's where we'll be until Sunday morning. Kendall picked up an extra shift tonight, then we'll leave when he gets home in the morning. We're looking forward to a few days of quiet, nature and family time. And Kendall needs some time away from work.

P.S. My thermometer says -8 F.
