Looks like a great time. But did you catch any fish?

I tend to stay away from the woods for memorial day. I've had experiences that even in my super secret hidey holes, people would appear. So I tend to let everyone get it out of their system and maybe go up this coming weekend.

No camping this year - Dutch Oven Stand use in the backyard. 100% scrounged parts, Abom would be proud.

Forgot Rib & Chicken Pics again~! Cherry Cobbler 'cause Momma said so:

Is that an alum or cast DO? I have an alum one and am nervous about using it because of good/bad raps they get.

I've been using an aluminum Dutch for 15 years and it's great. Heats up very fast, cools off fast.
It's anodized though. I wouldn't use a plain cast aluminum Dutch.

For 350-375 degrees, 7-8 briquettes on the bottom, 15-18 on top. Depends on ambient temps. I use an infrared gun to check sometimes.

Lake Eufala OK. went to a different site than previous. Really nice and clean bathrooms. Even AC. lol

This two are Cast Aluminum which are in fine shape internally. As you can see, I have seasoned very heavily as well. I have others in cast iron as well, but these jobbers are pretty nice, used cooking finds. I've read that same stuff, too. No funny tastes or funniness to be concerned over using them. Eggs are bad, eggs are good, eggs for your hair, beer for your hair...

I try to count / be a good guy but eventually end up making a mini fire with sticks from the woods under the ovens. Danged kids can't be left alone with the fire~! OR Dutch Oven Stand.

I always forget to take pictures, but this pretty much sums up our 5 night Memorial Day camping experience.

We didn't camp this weekend, but got her popped up for the "after winter inspection". Mold/mildew as always, even with a cover on all winter... seemingly a never ending battle. Can't wait to get her out on the road this season.

If you ppop your open in public, I think we gotta report you on the smoky fire/braless women thread...

Smoky fires and large busted women not wearing bras

Just got back from camping at Silver Lake SP on the Silver Lake Sand Dunes by Lake MI. Gorgeous area. Two observations: 1. people have lost the skill of fire making. Sure, some smoke is gonna happen, but for HOURS on end and when you notice the smoke is blowing right into my PUP from not...

Stayed in Custer State Park in South Dakota and then to Keyhole State Park in Wyoming which is where these pictures are from. A quick jaunt to Devils Tower from here...

We normally avoid holiday weekends like the plague... but with rain in the forecast one of our local boondock spots was pretty sparse.

With the upcoming Memorial Weekend, 1st let us remember those who served and their families for those who gave their full resolve for our country.

For me Memorial day is the official start of camping season, (even though I started in early April). Lets celebrate the holiday weekend with camping pics... Take pics this weekend and post em. Tell us what went right, and what went wrong...

First long trip with our camper. 4 hours to The Big South Fork Blue Heron campground for a couple days then north 2 hours to Red River Gorge. Koomer Ridge campground. Both were beautiful and I highly recommend them to anyone traveling in Eastern Kentucky. Only hitch was a small leak in the water fill hose but it was an easy fix. Solar panel worked better than expected.

We’ve stayed at Blue Heron a couple times. I LOVE Big South Fork. We’ve not been to Red River Gorge. Will have to add that to the list.

Not my photo but I saw it on the facebook and thought it was cool.
