We Be Campin'!

We thought we were all packed up and good to go on Friday morning (March 5th), but we soon discovered that we had managed not to load one or two rather important components. The most important was the propane stove. I have a lovely 2-burner model that I've used for eons. It's back home in the garage, right next to where the truck was parked. *sigh*

So, while we *could* (and actually did a couple of times) eat cold food, hot food is better -- especially given how cold and windy it has been. So, we found a bag of wood to buy and I built fires a few times to cook on. We set the pot of water directly on the logs and it boiled up quite quickly.

When we eventually got back to El Centro, we went to Big 5 and bought an inexpensive, one-burner, propane stove. We haven't yet used it, but it looks like it will be quite adequate.
