It all started Saturday afternoon about 3pm - collecting all the participants and then marching to one of our favorite sites on the banks of the river Oka.
Preparing the fire
and, of course, essential pretreatment
Starting the fire, loading the tasty meat (Igor and Alexey) and enjoying the rain
Did the rain disturb anyone?
And a very happy Slava and Papa (Alexey)
