Henry's

At the library in Butte

    Trundled out of Brown's after classic break fast and furious toward Butte for the dog park and the library. Young man with puppy puppy sacrificed his baby to D's rambunctious whims which seemed mostly to require chase and then roll the pup. To library to furiously assemble posts and photos under the hawkish eye of S who correctly wanted to arrive at our destination an hundred miles east. 

    On reaching Henry's Lake and Island Park State Park camp we met many many people related or friends with Judy the focus of this entire epic. Many of the many were veteran outdoors people who could cook cornbread in a huge dutch oven over hot coals. There were also pig ribs slathered in sauce the latter I found to make a fine salad dressing.There was another dutch oven dish called green tomato pie and even a third in the coals which I forget what. 

    Knocked out a couple of G&Ts after which I may have played the fool for a bit before taking D and heading to the van. Snow in the forecast for Sunday/Monday. Below freezing the last two nights; Adventurous hydronic heating system working - warm floors.

    Cold rain now and everyone is talking of breaking camp and heading for home in the morning. Van is cozy as can be, but would of course be even homier with a nice little wood stove.
