Stairguy and TZ for all the water hauling, wood chopping, fire tending and pot stiring.

+1 on all that Four dog said
A really big thank you to Camp Miller, and Everyone that helped make this hang a fun trip
It was good to put faces with so many names
Thing1 and I arrived home after taking the long way back... Rockford to Bloomington to Indy to Ky... about 300 miles longer than going through WV on the way up. The winds in Illinois were 40 mph from the west... had to hold the wheel hard over to the right for hours on end. Those fields stretch from horizon to horizon south of Rockford.
Special thanks to Book for giving us so much of his time, materials and tools. Thing1 gave her finished spoon to Smiling Face this evening, all sanded and oiled. It's beautiful! Smiling Face liked it so much she said she would never use it... Thing1 said No! It's supposed to be used! Book sent us home with enough birch crooks to make five or six more utensils!
It was great to see everybody again! I'll see if I can get a video edited tonight... so much to do tomorrow after being gone for a week!

Thing 1 sure worked hard on that spoon and it looked great for a first project. I don't know who was more proud her or book.
Now you have me worried about next year. I don't think my systems can go below -30*F. Does the name Alaska come to mindP.S. You won't believe the fantastic ideas FourDog came up with for next year's Frozen Butt Hang!
It will be in the same general location.Now you have me worried about next year. I don't think my systems can go below -30*F. ...
