It is time to start the November 2009 Photo Contest.

The theme for this month's contest is "Backcountry Cooking".

The second award is from Wilderness Passages Magazine, created by long time member QPassage. He is giving a free copy of their great magazine and a 2 1/2 hour DVD of Quetico footage to the winner of the photo contest and trip report contest. For more information about Wilderness Passages, you can visit their website at WildernessPassages.com

Horse Lake August 2009
A little backwoods ingenuity: When the chief cook forgot to pack the pancake syrup, one of our crew took some of our very plentiful blueberry harvest, added some powdered lemonade mix, and simmered over the stove. Tasted great on cakes and then again on French toast the next morning.

Jeff tried an experimental dish out of leftovers. Great eating between Alworth and Ima Lakes.

May waters rise to meet you. May wind and current be always at your back. May the Good Lord paddle with you, And may yours be the lightest pack.

Not eligible for the contest, but these blueberry pancakes were SOOOO good!

Also, we did a nice chocolate cake in our Jello-mold oven this year. Thanks to dogwoodgirl for the idea.

"Chinese Take Out," a Freezer Bag Cooking recipe using pouch chicken, instant rice, soy sauce packets, and home-dehydrated vegetables. Delicious!

Edited to add: this was at an eastern shore campsite on Bald Eagle Lake, August 2009.

Mr. Barley, I don't remember seeing that meal among the freeze dried meals in the camping food aisle. Is that Backpackers Pantry, Mountain House... I don't eat that well at home!

Oddball: Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Wow! I really appreciate the honor; thanks much; I lost my previous BWCA hat and really appreciate a needed replacement. Although the photo credit states "Homemade Bread" by starwatcher I really want to credit "Fred" who made the bread. Also, there were a lot of great photos of good food that were posted on the site! Thanks again,

starwatcher
