Adventures on the Prairie : Oh to be clean

Public service announcement:
I SHOWERED YESTERDAY!

But really, showering after 10 days of sweating for 22\24 hours of the day felt better than I expected. Granted, I ran the water for all of 1 minute to conserve it (perks of short hair!!). We only have access to solar-heated showers at Grouse Camp when there aren't folks staying there. My typical shower is a swim in Fourchette Bay after a hike.

I was on dinner duty last night and cooked some baller burgers: Avocado, bacon, pesto, caramelized onions, tomato, and lettuce. I wish I had taken a photo, they were very beautiful burgers (if that is even possible..). Stretching our mouths large enough was a challenge, but it was well worth it. Afterwards we all sat in the cook tent in a food\heat coma and had to dunk our heads under the water spicket to cool off, which has become a very common thing a Buffalo Camp this month.

Below are some photos of Buffalo Camp, where we're staying. We have a trailer and a cook tent, but all the cooking happens in the trailer. The cook tent is where we eat and is home to a nice fridge and microwave as well as a family of mice. Pretty fancy living!

My little green tent is on a platform and has kept me safe from the swarming mosquitoes and scary spiders at night (thank you Sarah and Jevon!). I have discovered that a field mouse has taken residence underneath my tent vestibule, and we have maintained a nice relationship (as long as he stays OUT of my tent). My tent platform is also a favorite scratching post to our neighborhood bison whom I've named William.
