Day 5: Kite Flying, Fires and Massive Food Consumption

Raina and I were in true leisure mode after our food drop and so we decided to hang out for a day. It was windy so Raina and I went down to the airstrip, my hands were freezing, but Raina braved the cold and got the kite airborne.

We had lot of time on our hands and it was cold out so we built a fire. A big lesson learned was that even though willows might be dead and brittle they don't burn until they look like drift wood. It took some persistence to get our little fire cranking.
