With the fish smoked, and weather taking a turn, it was time to get a little work done. After all winter is coming. We needed wood...

After that, we continue to survive on whatever leftovers we could find in the freezer.
All Harlan left us was a marinated skirt steak.
Another day for final cleanup, and we were ready to depart.
There are a few more details, but I'll save that for my traditional eagerly anticipated Annual Review Camp Close Family e-mail. Time to go.
