Camping fun

When we get too hot in the summertime, we take off to Cedar Mountain.

Our home away from home.

Lots of 4-wheeling

Lots of views

Cool flowers

Lots of relaxing

Chilling by the fire

Eating S'mores

Our favorite thing to make when we go camping is dutch oven peach cobbler.  I never seem to get a picture of it because we are always eating it at 10 p.m.

For some reason, we always eat super late on the mountain. I guess we get too busy playing.

Here is the super easy Peach Cobbler recipe:

Lazy Cobbler

Use a 12" dutch oven

2 cans slice peaches with syrup (29-30 oz cans)

1 package white or yellow cake mix

Ground cinnamon to taste

1/3 stick butter or margarine

Place dutch oven over 15 hot charcoal briquettes. Pour peaches in dutch oven. Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the peaches. Sprinkle cinnamon around on top to taste. Cut butter in pieces and spread evenly on top. Put the lid on the dutch oven and place 10 hot briquettes on top. Bake for 45 minutes or until done. Serve with whip cream on top or with ice cream. Yum! Sometimes I even eat the leftovers for breakfast!

One thing has put a little damper on camping this summer:

Yes, it says Bear Country and it is posted right below our camp. When we were up in June, we saw a lovely big brown bear right across from our camp. It's a little freaky to walk back in the trees or sit out by the fire at night. Casey just brings his 45 and keeps it by his side and I keep him by my side.

Camping season on Cedar Mountain is about over - hopefully we won't see the bear again!
