Secrets in the Wallowa Mountains

My probe and shovel were used only for practice rescues in the Wallowa Mt. range in Oregon. The rest of the time we skied our butts off. However, on our last night of the trip, we went out for a midnight ski. We built a bonfire, told secrets to each other about ourselves, and howled at the moon every so often. (the whisky definitely helped loosen the vocal chords) Boady, our fuzzy friend, howled, too. To contain the fire at the beginning, we used our shovels to dig a pit. My shovel worked just fine!!! Thanks for a wonderful product.
