Dining Out

[twobisquit]

Last weekend I was able to head up to the cooler elevations for a little recreational time out at my favorite undisclosed location. I usually take along what Townsend Wheelen called the "Three B's ",( Bacon, Beans and Bannock). This weekend I added two more "B's ... beer and brookies!

This is a fairly remote canyon that is about 60 miles from the nearest grocery store. The creek had good supply of Brookies but their little fish bellies were filled up with grasshoppers and I did not have any flies that looked appetizing to them so I was only able to catch two of them.
There have been wolf sightings in the area and the area is known to be home to a few bear and lions so the big Ruger was my constant companion. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Here is the dining room

And a meal fit for a king

A view from camp. The creek is actually hidden by the tall grass.

Here is the creek a little higher up the canyon.

That's my kind of dining room! Nice pics, thanks for sharing. It looks to be a lot cooler than what we've had here the past few days. Whew.

You're making me homesick........and I've never been there!

Makes me hungry. I'll bet that simmering bacon makes the bears hungry too.

My idea of a little place in Heaven.

Good photographs; it's nice to have an out and away get-away place.

I really like your dinner plate and frying pan. I've got one too. I gave my dad's kit to my daughter because she camps out a lot. Missed it so much that I had to find another one. It took a little over two years, but now there is one in my day pack again.

Just this morning my neighbors left for Star Valley, Alpine rather which is just up the road. They'll be back Sunday.

I know what you mean, Hugh, about those old mess kits. My Dad bought me one when I was about 8 years old. It disappeared a long time ago so I picked up a couple of replacements when I saw them at an Army Navy store about 20 years ago. I bet there was a mountain of those old aluminum kits that went to the recyclers.

There are many places like this one to be found around the Cowboy State but they are disappearing through road closures and public land swaps. Posting these pictures made me think that I aught to put together a notebook for my two grandsons so they can find a couple of good places to hunt and fish twenty years from now.

Thanks for all the nice comments from everyone. I think you all help me appreciate how lucky I have been to be able to make a decent living and raise a family around here and I'm always glad to share a few pictures with everyone here.

Hey Bisquit, those are great photo's! I love to fish the little cricks (not creeks!) much more than the big water, you usually have it all to yourself & thats the way I like it.
I've got a good friend over in Sun Dance that sends me photo's like that, very nice!

When I lived in the Idaho Panhandle in the '70s and early '80s, brookies were considered pests by Fish and Game and there was no limit in many creeks. They would overpopulate and a big one would be 8" long! We fished upstream and dropped crawdad traps in each pool when we were done with it. On the way back downstream, we'd harvest the 'dads and pick any berries we found (usually a LOT). Once we got to camp we'd only need bacon grease and Bisquick to make a meal of little crispie trout, steamed 'dads, and berry cobbler. Sometimes a Blue Grouse would get careless and stand in front of my Bearcat when I was target shooting, too..... Waste not, want not!
