I guess a late update is better than none!
We had a great trip in July as we wandered our way down to Nevada for the annual Happy Birthday America BBQ. We spent several days at Eagle Lake, just north of Susanville in California. We’d never stayed there before so it was an experiment. A nice quiet campground which we had almost to ourselves, a nice view of the lake, and though we never saw him, we had an antelope snorting and whistling at us every evening.
We lounged in camp, read, and whipped up a great new Dutch Oven recipe, "Pete's Pot roast". Check The Cookhouse blog for that. We took a side trip one day, down to Susanville to visit a bookstore and stock up on some California history titles, then over to the Belfast petroglyphs. If it hadn’t been so hot we probably would have stayed longer, but we got several nice shots, enough to study the glyphs at my leisure.
The 4th of July BBQ was the usual success. Matt won the croquet match this year, but my camera was acting up so I don’t have shots of the “awards ceremony”. There was a really good turnout this year, with some folks showing up that we hadn’t seen for awhile.
Closely following that trip was the annual Tailgate Training Camp. We tossed horseshoes, did several sets of 12 oz. curls, tent set-up, and the camp cook hustle, and I think we’re ready for the first game!
