4 Days, 3 Nights: Summer Escape, Part 2

Part 2 starts at early light with the animals awakening me on a crisp, cool morning. After breakfast in camp, I set out on a day hike, carrying lunch, photographing mushrooms that have sprouted from recent rains, and musing on changing forests and old gold mines. Back in camp in the afternoon, I experiment with a top-down (or upside down) fire, enjoy a cool beverage, and try out a Packet Gourmet dinner before retiring for the evening.
