Aaron at the campsite... We had the place practically to ourselves!

Long underwear, jeans, 3 layers of shirts a fur hat and a down jacket with a hood. Still sooooo cold...

Our trusty tent and camp chair. We've been through a lot together over the years.

Our first night... So clean, so warm(ish).

You know it's freezing when Aaron puts on a coat. Our first morning, and it was 30 degrees the night before. The little yellow tent behind our tent is a shelter he set up to keep our wood dry.
