Winter Camping

Winter Camping
This was taken on my recent snowshoeing excursion to Artist's Point and at the top. We often see campers up there when snowshoeing and though we have not tried it ourselves would like to do so. This man has just set up his tent on top of the snow but very often a group of campers will dig out an area five or six feet deep and set up camp in it in order to be out of the wind. It was a quiet day when this photo was taken.

Nice photo Ron.
That type of camping reminds me of my winter in North Korea but our tents were bigger.

Yes Ron, the Government in their wisdom thought I should have the chance to enjoy such a holiday.

Read recently "The Coldest Winter" by David Halbersham. Your being there really makes what I read come alive.

Yes Ron although I have not read the book did look it up on Wikipedia where it is explained as being the winter of 1950/51 the 1951/52 winter in my period of duty was its equal, the ground was frozen solid to a depth of more that 4 feet, carrying a cup of hot tea 100 yards was easy, it froze solid so did not spill on the way back to the tent.

We love camping in almost any conditions, Roland. We are avid backpackers and hikers and are used to "roughing it."

Certainly a room with a view ..... but cant help think it rather spoiled it fr others in that their solitude is totally gone too. Camping a little more descreetly would have been better.. Just my thoughts.......

There's so much space up there, Pam, that you can always find some solitude if you wish.

Never tried snow camping--I've always found the warm cabin much more congenial after a day of snow sports! ;)
