Winter Camping - High Winds and Snow

The snow finally fell in the Cascade Mountains, so I headed up for Winter Camping. When I reached my location, there were extremely high winds and snow. I love the snow, but the wind chill makes camp setup difficult. My fingers were freezing, making me fumble around more than usual, and the high winds made it very difficult to get the awning deployed. Once my winter camping setup was complete. I was able to warm myself with the glowing fire. Which I would use to cook my evening meal. Campfire cooking is one of the joys of winter camping. For a bit of holiday cheer, I brought the old light-up snowman I have had since I was a young kid. The light from the snowman was also a welcome comfort. After dinner, it was a glass of whiskey by the fire and then off to bed. The Next morning we were greeted with a beautiful winter scene full of snow. The wind was still blowing high in the trees, but it was comfortable by the campfire. I pulled the cast iron skillet out, cooked a hearty breakfast, and sat enjoying a few cups of hot coffee by the fire.

    Love the snowman touch. It gave the animals a Christmas night! You also have some natural snow covered Christmas trees around camp. Sour cream makes a good sauce. It breaks down into a liquid when heated or you can add a little milk if need be. It also keeps well if you don't use it all at once. Good on other stuff too like eggs and potatoes.
