Huron Peak (1st attempt)

Decided to bring the boys along for some father-sons time. We left home on a Saturday and planned on spending the night at the base of Huron Peak. Arrived mid-afternoon and set up camp and did some hiking. Found some old log cabins as well as some old mining sites.

Built a fire and had dinner of dehydrated spaghetti. As the sun went down it got cold, real cold. We quickly got into the tent and got settled in. It wasn't before too long I realized my tent was rated 3 season for a reason. While our sleeping bags were keeping us warm, anything not in our bags got cold and stayed cold.

In the morning we discovered that my water bottle had frozen and the boys shoes were very frosty. After some discussion we decided to forgo, mainly because of the boys shoes, and quickly packed up and headed for town (Jan's diner for breakfast.). Some might call the trip a bust but it will always be considered special by me.
