Spent the night out with “The Boy” last night.

I had the perfect opportunity to get some gear ready for the Allagash trip and try out a new recipe in the dutch oven. Supper was a huge success, the kids and Karin being the litmus paper. All had seconds- I recommend Byron’s One Pot Dinner to everyone. http://papadutch.home.comcast.net/dutch-oven-recipe-onepotdnr.htm Calvin topped off dinner with biscuits he had made in the Coleman folding oven-Nice work Cal!!! Turned out to be a wonderful night with some friends and kids stopping in to play/drink with us. And the kicker; Karin had the night off so we all got some much needed Mom time.

Allagash Trip marks end of summer.

End of summer trip planned and on schedule. A gruesome trio will take on a section of the Allagash Wilderness Waterways Sept 2,3, &4. Putting in at the outflow of lake Heron and spending the first night along the banks of Long Pond, Day 2 will take us to Round Pond; Day 3 will be a slow return through moose country. Anyone else wants in speak up now or go to your grave wishing you did.

There are other pics from Chip but believe it or not they are less flattering than this one. So, I wont post them. Chip will have to himself if he wants to embarrass me.
