Frost

Day 80
The pot sat around the smouldering fire all night… and we still have 1cm thick ice on it, the tents are frosted up and the truck is coated… the temperature last night dropped to -6c out. A record for us. With a quick packup we were off. I figure we went about another 60km of trail to our next camp. Along our travels we found an old tool box full of goodies, you take 1 item and you leave 1 item and sign your names. I had to laugh someone left a centerfold and a condom, we took a aussie dollar and left 2 lightbulbs for a truck. A fair deal we figure. At our next camp Jackie and I set off for a walk and as we climbed this hill at the end of the road we discovered a stripmine, abandoned due to a cave in we figure. Camp is stunning, nestled in the trees about 2km off the main track. No one will find us out here. This is living, we had cloud cover to keep us warm but it rained to… so a win lose situation.
