Serendipity that we are here to witness the tradition that only lasts until the top long is ashes.

Habits and rituals create your culture.

Over the years, have heard of the season’s end tradition to take the final fire log and throw it in Lake McDonald to extinguish it.

Then retrieve the log from the lake and store it over the winter.

Then on next season’s opening day, use it on the first fire of the new season.

We witnessed the tradition today.
