Got up a little early and drove out to the bison corrals along Sage Creek Rim Rd with Ranger Natalie to prepare for next week. Maintenance is going to turn on the power to the sheds out there, which is our back-up plan to camping down in Sage Creek next week. If it's very cold, the kids just won't do well with the warmer-weather sleeping bags we have. Here we could turn on the heaters to warm the space and just line everyone up on the concrete slab in their bags.

Came back for lunch, then started on prep work for making bison chili. See next post for the entire saga. For dinner, a few of us went down to the Wagon Wheel. Ed, Dave, and Dudley, who just arrived today from Duluth. He is a photographer/videographer and is here for the week to document the youth camp. Came back to the quad and stopped over to Ryan's house where he, Katie, and John were. Ryan and Katie were in Portland until yesterday, so I hadn't seen them yet. After a little while there, I headed home and switched the roasters back on for the night. Wow does it smell awesome in here!
