The next day of our hike, we had awsome buritos down at a lower camp. I think all food on hiking trips automatically tastes 3x better. Anyways, we set up our socks and shoes around the campfire in an attempt to dry them out. It actually worked reasonably well!

The funny part, though, was later that night when I was in the tent, Jay and Mitch were using fuel to catch a log on fire... The flames jumped up really high and all of a sudden I heard Jay: "my sock - MY SOCK IS ON FIRE!!" He grabbed it and threw it in the snow, but in the process he caught Mitch's sock on fire as well :) It provided some good entertainment for the evening - especially with their short "aAH!" exclamations just like Homer out of the Simpsons...
