Fires are nice but...

Well the fire was nice, but when the winds start blowingz only my tent and double sleeping bag take out most o the chill!  But the fire did heat up my camper's stew. You know my stew I'm sure. Whatever is around you throw it in the pot. I had a can of beans, some peanuts, and an inch of summer sausage left. Not bad. Believe it or not an inch really is enough. (-;

When I first set up camp it seemed deathly quiet and pitch black. But after 5 minutes somebody switched on the lights. The old man in the moon has this place glowing. Not saying I would sprint through the woods but hike it, sure. The sounds started too- wind rustling the few leaves hanging onto Fall, planes out of the Charlotte airport about 50 miles away, and of course the sound of the werewolves' claws scraping across the fallen trees as they snake their way toward me. (What campfire is complete without a scary story!?)

I think I will let the fire burn down and hike down to the lake to see what cool sights the moon has in store for me. Maybe my camera will even capture some of it?
