Some much needed R&R for t'wife and I this weekend - CAMPING!! Oh how we both love camping...
We decided to try a new place t'wife had heard about called Sutton Lake (Forest Service) just north of Florence... we found the campground no problem, just in two days (and even went driving around looking) never saw no lake... Oh well, still a nice place I thought...
We knew heading over there that there was a good chance for a bit of rain, but it was terrific weather Friday night... set up camp, ceremonial Busch Light (inside joke), set up camp and enjoying a campfire.... ahhhhh...
One thing we like to do is try and tune in less than mainstream radio stations, typically AM dial, that we don't think to listen to otherwise... found one this weekend that came in pretty well who's theme was "Music of Your Life" and played some really old stuff and from time to time something as modern as (older) Billy Joel... fun stuff hence the lyrics in the blog title...
BUT, we woke up to some pitter-patter on the tent and despite a heavy tree canopy, the ground started to get a bit wet... and even though the radio gal was saying the forecast was something like 20% chance of rain with a few showers, the rain never stopped until right when we started packing up Sunday morning to head home....
Bloodies before 8am are goooooooooood....
Oh well - that's what the popup canopy is for...
Still a great time!
Tried to do stuffed peppers in the dutch oven using charcoal rather than coals from the fire... I was winging it and screwed up bad - instead of them gently roasting for an hour or so in there, they were burnt to pieces and a mushy mess in about 15 minutes... luckily Nic had headed into town for some more beverages and grabbed some good viddles as a replacement... split a steak, some bacon wrapped scallops, and yes the stuffed peppers... not bad, all things considered...
Looking around the campsite, I bet we coulda gotten away with bringing the chickens.... ;)
