When winter is harshest, they go campin'

It got really, seriously, dangerously, deathly cold last weekend, so naturally cousin Dan and son M., our very own Jack London and Jack London Junior, decided to go camping. Here's Dan's report: "We started at the Boy Scout base on Moose Lake and trekked north to the Canadian border. We camped on the American side of Sucker Lake. Also got a chance for a dogsled ride. Slept Saturday and Sunday nights in the quinzees we built. Total was only 14 miles round trip, but that was pretty tough (at least for me) pulling a sled in the snow." We fully expect them to report to us that on their next three-day weekend, they'll be climbing K-2 in the Himalayas -- "just K-2, not Everest."
