DUTCH OVEN COOKING

July 12 ~ Thursday ~ sunny to cloudy.
OK...I DID NOT sleep in this morning...cuz...a person misses the best part of the day if they do! Radio was still on, but with coffee in hand I went out to start the fire...then became a branch collector again...and a slash burner...still a big amount to go, but little by little it’ll get done.
Jack’s leg/knee/back still are no better~ so he’s on fire/K P duty. He seasoned the Dutch oven (think squirrel) , then put a BEEF roast in with potatoes and onion, to cook for dinner...and it was soooo yummy! Very tender...very good...AND...he even cleaned the Dutch oven afterwards...ready for next time (those pesky squirrels!). He has also whittled a spatula/stirrer to use in the Dutch oven...and did a mighty fine job of it, too!
I am really tired tonight...all the hard work gathering those branches! No more shooting for now...at $22 for 50 rounds I’m thinking conservative is best...but bullets might just be on the shopping list. As Jack was reading I went to sleep with the music of Michael Card in my ears.

Talkeetna purchase

We bought land about 15 miles SW of Talkeetna, Alaska...on e-bay...sight unseen! in 2006. I probably wouldn't recommend doing that for everyone, but we were blessed it was legal...and now have good neighbors in the north, too. In fact, one of our neighbors built a 250 foot road with a turn-around into our place and we could stay on our land part of the summer. Of course, then there was the flood with the washing out of the only good road leading to Malispina Loop, so had to wait to start back to MT for a few days until that was repaired and we could retrieve our cargo trailer, since we had left it on our land while down on the Kenai.

Welcome to the travels of John and Chrysa

We leave on June 6th so are in the process of thinking about getting ready. Actually, I've had stacks here and there all winter, but don't know if that'll save me time or not. I have washed and waxed the fronts of the camper (slide-in with tip-out) and under the overhead so all the bugs we hit can have a spot now. It was fairly crowded before starting...but I always use 'Black streak remover'~ if you haven't tried it, do...it's awesome! I'm going to give getting pictures on here a whirl in the near future...just hoping it's nearer (didn't have problems) than farther (had problems) away.
