Today, I went in backcountry for a little day trip in mountain/ Cooking soup on dutch oven/ Off leash play time with my cat
I thought it's not raining so might as well to go have a campfire and a little lunch on the campfire.
That's what we're gonna do. All right guys we made it we're not gonna go further because if you look
the dirt road here it's got a tin tin just a tin part of the snow but it's getting icy a little bit
so there's like just down here a place where I can have a bar so this is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna have to uh just walk a little bit to the fire it's okay are you ready?
Yeah I don't want to go further because to come here it's just pretty steep and like
you cannot stop like you have to go so it's just like okay let's do it and I was getting more and
more snow like I don't have choice I have to keep going because if I slow down or I cannot turn
around obviously so um yeah so we'll see if I sleep here if I see start snowing which I think
supposed to rain tonight so probably gonna snow here uh maybe I'm just gonna drive a little bit
down and sleep just down the whole uh like I saw some uh some camper already took like the first
the first little campsite around the road so I was like ah I'm gonna have to go for a little
bit further a little bit further a bit further it's okay we made it we just uh just want to have
like a little campfire and a little lunch around the campfire that's my plan. It's cold today
that should be all right I think Kelly is not sure with the snow oh you escaped that's not nice
be careful some people on the road if you're worried about Kelly she's never go very far
she's just right there she look at me right now I think I'm gonna let her a little bit off leash
she do have a little bit of off leash time um when I know she's not gonna go far and because
it's snowing right now I have a feeling that she's gonna be like oh no I'm stay close
and I have a bag of her favorite treat if I need it find a little place without any snow
yep you're not gonna go far everybody yeah you have to stay beside mama so campfire will be
right here happy to be freaky you run pretty fast
it's careful crazy girl she's so happy right now
as long as you don't go far I don't mind and I'm gonna use some fire starter because it's quite wet
it's just just useful in those those environment
Kelly what are you doing come here having fun in the snow you're so funny baby
so the fire looking good I'm gonna put more wood into it at least the wood was dry so it's good
I think if I do more off leash with Kelly she's just right here right now
uh maybe I should buy her a little like jacket but like red or like some color that I can really
see her because she's just blend in like forest with that color on you know like same color to
the wood and she was just like a little bit in the branch there and I was like calling her and she
she nicely just poke her nose which is great most of the time she doesn't do anything which
like I know she's not going far but I don't see her like she's just in like in the bush
waiting that the mouse or bird come by and she doesn't want to move and I can be right beside
her calling her she's like gonna be like why are you calling me I'm right there like I don't know
I don't see you so uh she's just playing in the snow she's just so happy right now which makes me
happy to give her more and more free time I've done a couple of free time with her this summer
she did amazing but it was hot so I knew she would not want to go very far but yeah I'm happy
right now she doesn't go far and I've been here a couple of times so I kind of like a little bit
know the area so it's great for that so if you don't know why I came here what we're doing I
just wanted to be a little bit in nature I just kind of been missing it for all the rainfall that
we had didn't want to be in the wood because was not the best it was a little bit dangerous if you
want uh but now I'm just like oh I don't think I'm gonna sleep here tonight though I just with
the snow on the ground it's just gonna be so icy and I don't have like chain which I know I have to
do it I've been thinking about it they are quite expensive and I've been putting that off and now
that I'm here and it's got a little bit of snow and it's gonna be really steep hill I'm like I
should have had some snow chains so uh I'm gonna have this because we're probably gonna anyway
cross Canada in beginning of March which gonna be still maybe some snow so um I have some good
winter tarp but even that you know having some chains always good so uh yeah we are here to
enjoy nature and I just felt to have a little quick meal nothing fancy on the dutch oven I'm
just gonna try to have like a miso soup I've been craving it so just what I'm gonna have nice warm
soup beautiful day uh is cold and chilly but it's okay she's been running back and forth the trail
there back there right there right there she's so funny
so I'm gonna go in the van bring bring this and this back and I'm gonna bring a little blanket
for Miss Kenny so uh she can have a little warm place to put a little paw and warm up
she's been so good guys I'm so happy she just play run everywhere jump on every tree
and the van is just on top of that little hill I couldn't like I didn't want to gamble and back up
on this trail here I was worried I would not be able to get up just a little walk you work with
you don't have to if you don't want but you wanna stay inside again you make me happy you're so good
baby yes well I guess while we are back here I'm just gonna bring everything to make my little
miso soup I'm probably gonna forget some stuff but at least at least I can have like one
one load done come here kitty I'm gonna put the blanket here there you go come good girl
look right here it's for you no right here kitty try it it's gonna warm up your feet
yes it's gonna warm up your feet I think she'll have a little place nice and warm kitty
all right so like I said I was craving some miso soup first I'm not gonna do that the only
miso that I found was in the bag I was surprised I was like okay
yeah and all the instructions are in Chinese so I have no idea how much I'm supposed to put
apparently I'm not supposed to boil and for a long time the miso was just at the end
so I got some bok choy our green onion and I have like broccoli that kind of like getting old
and I have to eat it and I buy some tofu firm one because I don't like the soft one even though
usually that's what they put in the miso soup so I think I'm gonna put water boil some water
put the vegetable and the miso the green onion and the
tofu will be at the end I think that's what I'm gonna do
all right boil water all right so you probably don't see but I put the broccoli a couple minutes
ago and I'm gonna put the bok choy and tofu and yeah I think I cooked that for a minute or so
it's funny I went to the van to grab a bowl and Katie heard the door you know when I closed the
door she ran right back I'm like I'm not leaving without you baby of course she's so cute she's
still outside it's probably been a good hour if not two hours that we are here right now and she
behaves so well she just when I don't see her I call her and she just poke her nose and like
everything is good so my soup must be ready now so I'm just gonna put the miso paste I have no
idea how much I'm supposed to and some green onion and I think that's gonna be it all right
this is what the soup looks like and smells so good so good guys this is perfect when you're cold
that was good I still have a little bit left so I'm gonna put down the bowl it's gonna be for
tomorrow and I'm gonna put everything back to the van and Katie oh she's climbing a tree just get
down on the tree she's still outside it's probably been like I think it's been three hours she's
outside right now she just love it she's been really good and I like I say I thought about
like that little red jacket that I could buy her but she climbed so many trees that I'm worried
that she would get caught maybe in like one tree with the jacket on that would be bad you know
I'm gonna have to think about it but having something on her that she would be more visible
for me would be great but I don't want to have any problem you know like she climbed super high
in the tree because she go like pretty high sometimes and you know like she gets stuck in
the bench with the jacket on like what I'm supposed to do after that you know what I mean
we get to a bigger problem so yeah I'm gonna have to think about it all right I think I mean
I'm gonna go for a little walk I'm gonna bring some treats she's still off leash and the fire is
pretty much pretty much done here and I think we're gonna go after that I don't want to go
too far too late so the road is still doesn't froze and if I'm stuck on the way back down at
least at this afternoon it's got a little bit more traffic of people doing some four by four and all
this so maybe someone's gonna help me even though I'm pretty heavy with all the camper not so many
camper can help me but at least I'm still at a service here so it's not super stressful but just
I just don't want to do this if it's supposed to snow tonight no bad idea so unfortunately we're
not going to sleep here but it was a nice little afternoon in nature which we didn't need it and
I'm really happy that we've done this so kitty's already already down the trail so I'm better to
hurry up there you go right there let's go we're going for a walk it's a little cave that's a cool
cute little cave someone made a fireplace too yep let's go hurry up kitty good girl let's go
okay let's go oh yes good job oh you're awesome you're awesome you can have more treats
just two little more it's good enough I'm so proud of kitty I think she'll only be like
three or four hours I don't know what time it is I think it's yeah 2 30 and we arrive
around 10 so it's been a while so we're gonna slowly make our way down so thank you so much
