We spent the first night (we got there at 11 pm) on a 5,000 ft peak looking down over a valley to lake Ketchees 3,000 feet below. When the hot sun woke us up at 6:30 we decided to quickly pack up and move before breakfast. There was no shade and the place was just trashed with shotgun shells, broken glass, and other trash. It was really sad because we had camped in that very site with Rudy and Anne about 2 years ago and it had been really nice.<br /><br />We ended up driving down the forest road to do some exploring. The site we ended up in was off more of a jeep/ATV road, but we straddled some deep ruts and held back some branches and made it in. The only people we saw from early Saturday to mid-Sunday were two fishermen and two ATV'ers while we were hiking and two jeeps that drove by.<br /><br />All we had were camera phones, so the pictures are bad, but <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=128020&id=809769967&l=1c48d4ba4e">here they are</a>.

Spray your mug. Large mugs work best.<br /><br />2 Add the following:<br /><br />4 T self-rising flour<br />4 T sugar<br />1 T plus a bit of cocoa powder (not hot chocolate mix--I'm sure this is what made us sick, 9 T was a lot of powder)<br /><br />3. Stir very well with a fork.<br /><br />4. Add:<br /><br />1 egg<br />2 T water<br />2 T oil<br /><br />5. Microwave for 3 minutes.<br /><br />6. Get it out of the mug quick, then get water in the mug, or you'll regret it.<br /><br />I really suggest sharing this delightful confection with a friend, it's really too much for one.Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17364809752295094178noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26128503.post-35237744829472430572008-10-21T09:07:00.000-07:002008-10-21T09:34:16.773-07:00more summer updates...<span style="text-align:center;width:592px;display:block;"><embed FlashVars="border=true&size=580x435&rss_feed=http://www.bubbleshare.com/rss/480492.bf92183c89f/feed.xml" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="472" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://www.bubbleshare.com/swfs/player.swf?4360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="592"></embed><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9px;display:block;">BubbleShare: <a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/" style="font-size:100%;">Share photos</a> - <span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.wiggle-eyes.com/">Craft Ideas</a></span><br /></span></span><br />lots has been going on, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=63207&l=f0fc2&id=809769967">click here </a>for some more pictures!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17364809752295094178noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26128503.post-32719341275860232182008-10-19T22:05:00.000-07:002008-10-19T22:18:11.724-07:00we went camping!!<span style="text-align:center;width:592px;display:block;"><embed FlashVars="rss_feed=http://www.bubbleshare.com/rss/479375.60d64c5bae6/feed.xml&border=true&size=580x435" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="472" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://www.bubbleshare.com/swfs/player.swf?4356" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="592"></embed><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:9px;display:block;">BubbleShare: <a href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/" style="font-size:100%;">Share photos</a> - <span style="font-size:100%;">Find great <a href="http://clip-art.kaboose.com/index.html">Clip Art Images</a>.</span><br /></span></span><br /><br />click<a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=62918&l=fac80&id=809769967"> here</a> for more pictures!
