We worked our way up a slope overlooking Goose Lake and the Des Plaines River, on a day that felt like it was snatched out of April. Carolyn started one of her 'matchless' fires with nothing more than sparks and kindling. We built a total of five brush piles which didn't burn down until deep into the day, and opened a good part of the south-facing hill to more sunlight.
