one match fire, of course

Okay. So I'm not usually a procrastinator. Not usually. But in this case...I did kind of put off my fire making until pretty late in the semester. I managed to screw myself over by waiting until it snowed; although luckily we don't have more than several inches at this point.

So Naudline and I made our one-match fire today in snowy woods by the Pathfinder Building. We were actually surprised at our success, expecting everything to be wet and hard to light. Here are pictures to document the event:

small success!

larger success!
