That actually looks delicious and I like the garnish.

I guess my hotspot didn't pan out for you, it drove you to catching crayfish.

Hey Beamer,

That doesn't look like a the fire pit that was in my camp. I thought all fires were supposed to be in the fire pits they provide??? :)

My picture is were we set up a wind break behind a big rock and set up our propane stove to cook. It was very windy on our last trip. There aren't any pictures of our food but at least I can show you were we cooked.

I have a few to choose from. Most are better quality than this one, but I like what it says. This was from October 2006 on Kelso Lake. It wasn't too late, perhaps 5:00 pm, but it was already cold and dark. The perfect time for chili.

Last Night Chili

This batch of chili is the very reason they invented solo shelters. Pretty much everything we had left over went into this pan of chili, Mexican rice, onions, 5-day old cheese, summer sausage etc. One more reason to sleep in a hammock.

That site used to be our group's favorite site. About 6 years ago we arrived in the spring and it was all torn apart and some fish cleaning benches had been brought over from that island between there and Bottle Portage. It was unuseable in it's condition so we moved on. I'm assuming it is back to normal by now. Great site if you don't mind the boat traffic out front.

Because I'm wearing one and I just did....

This has to be a tough one for the judges. I found myself looking at the photos in two different ways. My mouth drooled over gc428's combo, SIRT's pan scramble, and paddlegal's cherry cheesecake.

Some other photo's demanded a closer look for other reasons. Among those are pictures by superswamper, CIIcanoe, UncleMoose, Snakecharmer, thecanoeman, Blackstick, and TomT.

I suppose if I had one vote, it would go to TomT.
