ALso I may want to add, put alcohol in at the end so as not to cook off the booze.

Is it possible to catch a buzz on fumes? :D

Ya know, sometimes I wonder if a site that sold freeze-dried ice would fly. It would be great if it worked.

I'll take in a beer or two and drink 'em ~warm. When I get to the take-out I'll pound a room temp (or better) can from the trunk. It's traditional after all.

Cold is never cold enough inside the park unless I'm shivering - and then it defeats the purpose. Every night I've ever spent was cool enough to enjoy a warm drink. 151 and Swiss Miss always hits the spot.

There is nothing better than sipping two of those with my back to a small fire while looking at the Milky Way or even better while the lights are out or loons are calling. Most paddlers are probably sleeping then but that's when the edges of the season provide a welcome opportunity. In summer when it's hot, I'd rather nap mid day. I'd make one right now but it's 99.4 outside and I'd hate to stress the AC knowing the utility can/will cycle it off at any moment.

Damn! As I reread this the lights went out for a second. It's hot out. Ooops, there it goes again.
