Back Safely but real tired

 Vikki had started supper at 3.  made a Bread Pudding that cooked on the wood stove.  (Made from old bread, raisins, eggs, milk, vanilla and brandy flavour) 
She also started cutting up potatoes, frying them and put them on the wood stove in a big Turkey oven.  Made up some brown gravy and put cheese on top to melt.   It's called Poutine Fries and they are the best.  Moose patties are also made up and ready.
You don't leave cooking to the last here.  Who knows if she will have to skidoo out to find Bryan.

BUT AT 7:18 PM THE SKIDOO CAME BLASTING DOWN THE LAKE.   VIKKI WAS GOING TO GET READY TO GO UP AT 8 PM.

7:18 pm Wed nite

Tired but still smiling.

BRYAN'S TRIP
Monday Feb 21.  Left Base Camp at 4 pm, picked up a Marten and a squirrel.  After 10 min. at line cabin to start the stove and stow the supplies..... I still had some daylight left so off I went ..... picked up another Marten and broke another 1 km of trail past Canyon creek Pass.  At dark I headed back.  The warm cabin was really welcome.  I'm a pretty good cook but when it comes to that.... I'm lazy.  Frying the pork chop and opening the Beans is as fancy as it gets.  Vikki had put in 2 Beer which made me smile.  In bed at 9.
2nd Day.
Got up early, made a small lunch and filled my Thermos.  Managed to push the trail another 4 km.  Lots of Marten sign and put out a few more sets.  I think as you get older you forget more in a day than you learn.  I hadn't brought extra fuel for the skidoo and with breaking trail in deep powder and running back and forth to the cabin every night I lived with nagging feeling of running out as I watched the gauge drop below half.  Spam and Beans again.  In bed by 8:30  Woke up 3 times with leg cramps from all the snowshoeing.
MORE  this evening ..... We are both off right now to check the Inklin Trail for wolves, foxes etc....just wanted to let you know Bryan was back and okay
