Northwest River Adventure

We returned this evening from the NW River Adventure.  A fun time was had by all.
We arrived shortly after noon and quickly commenced to cooking lunch.  There is a screened in group pavilion with a huge fireplace on one end.  This is where we set up the "kitchen".  
The pavilion was used for many games of chess and a few other games as well as our Bible study last night.  We kept a fire cranking in the fireplace pretty much the whole time.  Last night we got the fire going in the fire pit near our tents and ate smores.  My smore's mallow was toasted to perfection and the gooey goodness oozed out when I took a bite.  We also kept a big percolator cranking out the hot water for hot chocolate.
The students played some man hunt and had fun running around the campground.  We basically had the place to ourselves.
Most everyone slept well in sleeping bags, only a few comments on the cold temps last night.

This morning was mountain man breakfast, a traditional favorite.  Here's the recipe to feed 30:
  • Chop up 2lbs of bacon and fry it up.  Reserve the grease as a "marinade" ;)
  • Brown 1lb of sausage
  • In some of the bacon grease cook 2 bags of potatoes O'brian.
  • Crack 3 dozen eggs and add a little milk 
  • Pour the "marinade" into the pot and scramble the eggs
  • As the eggs get close to getting done dump in the potatoes, bacon, sausage
  • Stir in 2 packs of shredded cheddar
  • Serve up on 60 tortillas
Today was spent running around the campground and playing farkle and then packing up the tents.  

The night of tent sleeping was fun but I certainly look forward to sleeping in my king size bed tonight in a heated house.  Picture will be posted soon.
