My Camping Weekend

[John Solak]

We made one more trip to the desert this season before it gets too hot out there.
Friday nights dinner. Tri tip seasoned with Tatonka dust, corn and some beer bread with some shredded cheese added for good measure. Also poured some melted butter over the bread before it went on the grill


Everything done and resting


My plate


Saturday my Wife and I took a quad ride to Salvation Mountain and Slab City
A quick pic of Salvation Mountain.


We rode our quads around Slab City. Very different place. A lot of free spirits and talk about living off of the grid!!! To each their own I guess.
Some art on the side of the road



Saturday nights dinner was suppose to be chicken seasoned with Webers Kickin Chicken and lemon pepper, potatoes and another salad. I put the chicken on the grill and started talking to the campers next door with a rum and coke in my hand. I quickly lost interest at the grill and basically drank my dinner and had some chicken as a snack. Here is as far as I got logging Saturdays dinner.


Really fun but hot weekend, I hope yours was just as enjoyable!!!

amazing how different "camping" can be in different parts of the country (or world).
these parts, you pitch a tent under tall pine trees next to a lake...
hope bears don't come around in the middle of the night looking for food....

Great Photos John! Thanks!! And GREAT Lookin' Food Too!
