| Incredible grace and wood splitting form. |

| Tall, tall weeds! Watch out for that poop! |
Aspen Flats is only 3 miles from Upper Russian Lake but it felt longer for some reason. The grass and pushki where above our heads. Every once in awhile you'd get whacked in the face with the over ripe, seed dripping flower tops - serious hay fever. Meanwhile our eyes where on the ground being sure to spot and step over the huge piles of berry-filled bear poop. We never did see a big brownie but we did hear a grunt. Needless to stay it was like walking in a grass tunnel with smelly, slippery obstacles every 200 yards. It was a relief to get to the underutilized, spruce tree Aspen Flats area. So few people use the cabin that the long book still had pages from 2007. It sure isn't a cute, comfy birch log cabin like Upper Russian but it's pretty good. The Russian River is right outside the front door, there's plenty of firewood available and it has a light, bright windowed outhouse. We got into each finding our own dead, downed tree to drag back to chop. We even had a splitting contest with the girls and got very creative in the best way to set-up for using the hand saw. Good thing we cut wood for the fire because the temperature continued to drop and the rain set in later that night.
