Well, we are just out bush riding, so there is no place to eat anyhow, but I used to be sporting a Hotdogger, until one day ...   Had been riding all day in the sun. Well above freezing, and the snow was sticky. We were heading to Halfway (we were always headed to Halfway) via a bush route, and as the shadows started getting longer, we put our cache into our Doggers. Then we stopped, prox 60 klicks or so S of Halfway at just aboot dusk.   As the sun went down while we ate, the temp dropped to just under zero, and the skiff of snow on top started to freeze, with sticky snow below.  GO ANYWHERE!   Well, I went aboot 200 meters and I had to Ralph. Good thing I don't doo up my helmet!   My burritos in my BLACK tank bag, riding in the sun all day, in above zero temps - apparently had gotten bad. It started the day frozen, and I couldn't imagine that it would have gotten warm enough to go bad, but it did!   It was a LONG ride into Halfway that night. That was likely one of the time when we rolled in at 2am. Gayle would put plates in the fridge for us to warm up when we got in.   I still remember that night - I was rolling up the trail ... slowly ... but the other fella's were playing around (partially so's not to push me prolly?) and I was a ways ahead of them, and I just couldn't go any further. I stopped to the side of the trail - right up agginst heavy bush, and laid back and hoped to die.   Then there was a bunch of wrustling in the bush. Was it just snow sloughing off the trees? Or was there a bull coming through the trees? I still remember not caring either way. Getting stomped by a bull would solve my problems, so ....   And so - I have not used a Hotdogger nearly so much since then...   I stick with jerky, or anything that doesn't need to be cooled or heated. I will be just fine 'till we git back to the truck. I've survived 3 days in the bush. An afternoon aint gunna kill me.   .

Great plan until there is 10 other people in the shack already. 

Last few days should have froze things up.   I saw people skating all over Princess Point off the side of the 403 - 4 days later - it was wide open - but now frozen over again. Wild conditions 

Anyone riding short cut across Conestoga lake yet. I seen tracks out there a few weeks ago but it looked risky? 

I plan my today around the warm up shacks.
