I've got a little catching up to do with my posts; so this will be a little out of order.
June 27-29 (Fri-Sun), my girlfriend's sorority got together in the form of a camping trip. I've met most of them from previous events plus recognizing most of them from college. It was great having some people I knew there; Toni & Jason, Fred & Vicki. Too bad Fred & Vicki couldn't stay the entire weekend.
Natasha & I made our breakfast: pig in a blanket. It's just precooked sausage wrapped in breadstick dough. Natasha found a winner for simple campfire food. I'll try to remember to add cheese inside next time.
The campsite had a high tree canopy. It worked to our benefit Friday night when it rained; we only felt a drizzle. However, Saturday was a downpour.
So meals were organized. One group did Friday dinner (brats, hamburgers; classic camping food), one group did Saturday dinner (quesadillas; pictured here) and one group did Sunday breakfast (French toast, scrambled eggs, bacon). Natasha and I were in the last group with the rest of the people on our site. All the food was great and all of it worked out well.
This is what happens when you add copper to a fire; via dollar store Christmas lights. We used to put special crystals in the fireplace at home to give the same effect so this wasn't really new to me. Still, it's cool to see a colored flame.
Next time, I've got to remember to bring the tarp to put under my tent.

neat flames. i saw that stuff this past weekend at the overpriced Ice Age Convenience store at Devil's Lake. yeah, you definitely need a tarp. one time, the tarp i'd brought was just a couple inches too small...and there were 3 of us in the 3-man tent. i was on the edge. my stuff got wet. not fun.
