During our campout at Mammoth caves, staying warm was paramount. As soon as we arrived at our campsite, we busied ourselves with collecting wood and making sparks with the boys new flints and steels that they got from Grandma MaryAnn. The actual fire (which was later banked and used three other times) was started with a spark from Melani, using Chris Jr's flint. However, as that fire started to die, Tobin stole a piece of it! He started a beautiful fire with his bundle of flaming dryer lint, the beginning of which is pictured above. Chris and Melani's feet froze practically solid during the night -- the dogs water froze completely solid. Still it was a beautiful campsite. When you go camping when no one in their right mind would go -- you have the woods all to yourself!
