I purposefully picked this campsite, and parked my truck so that the first rays of the sun, would come through the truck cap, and wake me up around the crack of down (around 6:35 AM this time of year).

That's my rig with all the messy camping gear and sleeping stuff around, as I first awake in the morning.

These are the ropes and bungee cords I use to secure the kayak on the roof. Seems to work well on the kayak blocks.

I really love it when trash piles start looking like this. In a couple of minutes, I'll toss on a few more logs, to make sure the rest of the crap burns hot, then use it to do some cooking in the dutch oven.

This was taken from the lake. It was great to be right on the lake, at this very remote Adirondack Pond.

Some previous camper left this box full of garbage -- bottles, beer cans, plastic, paper, etc. What's a boy to do? Burn it of course! I thought about picking out the beer cans first, so I could redeem them, but it grossed me out. So what I did, is stack some charred wood from previous campers, some of my own firewood, poured 1/4 gallon of gasoline on it, and tossed a match in. Once the garbage was incinerated, I carefully picked out the aluminum cans, bottles, and other unburnables, and tossed them in my bucket to bring home for recycling.

Boom! Actually, it didn't really explode that much, as the gasoline kind of soaked into the trash, although a ran like a little girl, after dropping a match into the fire.
