Early morning view from my camp above and shot of my campsite at Ambition Lake in Blackcap Basin.
I prefer to sleep under the stars, so only use a tent if it looks like rain. I misjudged the weather this time. Sprinkles woke me up at 2am, so I quickly set up my tent, and the skies opened up just as I was climbing in. Thunder, lightning and strong winds battered my tent, but it kept me dry. Strange weather for August.

It looks more like Mark is sitting in the midle of a backcountry meth lab of some kind. :D

I don't doubt it, I've been reading about Marks cooking for years now. :thumbsup:
