Canada Day

July 1st is the Canada Day holiday. (they used to call it dominion day) What's a Canadian to do to celebrate? First off, go to the parade with the kids. Fun fun. The only thing left to do after that is to pack a replacement woodstove up to a log cabin in the mountains. No biking, no canoeing, but I guess it qualifies as self propelled adventure. I met Dave at the trailhead and we strapped the stove body to a pack frame. Dave slid all of the cast iron baffles, legs, and the door into his pack, and helped me off up the trail with the stove body.

Resting halfway up the trail. This doggone thing is heavy.

Arrived! Warmth for next winter!
