What to do under a tarp



We spent a LOT of time sitting under the shelter we built, or huddled around a fire. The temps were in the 40's and 50's and it rained a lot. When people are stuck under a tarp for several days in the rain, it does something to them. They begin to sing old tv theme songs, they sing in high pitched voices, they play games, tell stories, laugh a lot. Did I mention it was raining? They say "Uffda" every once in a while and laugh. Best of all, they pull out all their bags of food, pick out one thing from each person's stash, and create a new and wonderful back country food. We were able to create a mexican feast, an italian dinner of pesto and noodles, and a one of a kind minestrone soup. Want the recipe? We do too.
