    Gorgeous afternoon so we loaded up the dogs, the food and headed out to our spot by the lake. First thing we got a fire going.

    kettle for water and the tin has potatoes in it. Campinspecter chopping the wood down to size that I gathered.

    Fire going nicely and wieners were roasted. No pics as we ate them too fast.

    Slowed down enough to savor our hot potatoes and sour cream along with our hot chocolate and marshmellows.

    Cricket is sure that we must have missed something by the fire. Fire almost out and reluctantly we must leave before the sun goes down.

    You just reminded me of how much I enjoyed camping when I was a kid. Maybe I should try it again sometime.

    You are never too old to enjoy camping. Wieners and potatoes by the fire with hot chocolate and marshmallows are always great outdoors. Although to stay overnight in this spot would be hard to get the r-pod down there to sleep in. No more sleeping on the ground for me.

    It is certainly a fact that food tastes soooo much better when cooked on the open fire. Maybe a primitive gene we all have inside of us....
    I find that coffee made from water out of a spring cooked in a percolator over a fire tastes heavenly...........
