The Meal

Everyone always asks, "Don't you miss having a 'real' Thanksgiving dinner when you are at the desert?" Little do they know, we go all out with all of the traditional meal items and more! Our dinner this year was even yummier than ever!


We had over 25 family and friends camping with us. On Thursday, we all set up tables and ate our Thanksgiving feast together in the middle of camp.


The two Randys took shifts and set their alarms to get up in the middle of the night and add wood to the pit. Then, Randy and Murray got up early and chopped apples, oranges, garlic and onions to stuff the turkey with.


The turkey was put in a cooking bag and wrapped over and over and over again with foil. They wrapped a wire around it a prepared to lower it into the hole.


After cooking all day, it was time to dig it up!

Once again, the turkey turned out perfect, and everything else was fabulous as well! What a fun day!
