Back at Red Rock with friends Chris and Cathy

l.to r. Chris, Cathy, Gordon, and Juanita on trip to Virginia City, Montana



One of the best parts of full time RV travel is the opportunity to meet new friends as we move down the road. After some internet e-mail contact, we met Chris and Cathy during our visit to McCall, Idaho. We were able to adjust our travel plans and rejoin them in Island Park, Idaho, during our second visit to Red Rock RV and Camping Park. Chris and Cathy have joined us for a couple of beautiful day trips in the area (Virginia City, Montana, and Yellowstone NP), and we have shared a couple of fine dinners in camp. Chris fired up a dutch oven and slow cooked fantastic pork ribs, and Gordon tossed some locally made brats on the BBQ for an evening outdoor meal.

We plan to see Chris and Cathy and all the other fine friends we have met during our travels further down the road!

Do bears eat berries in the woods??? WE DO!!!

One of the great joys of spending much of the summer in McCall, Idaho, has been this years' prolific crop of huckleberries that grow in the forests of this area. We have gone out several times to locate this tasty berry and have used them on our cereal, in pancakes, and in a huckleberry cobbler recipe that we discovered on the internet.
Try this when you can:
1 box butter recipe yellow cake mix
3/4 cup butter
1 cup finely ground pecans
1 cup quick-cooking Oatmeal
1 T. cinnamon
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen huckleberries

Preheat oven to 350 deg. Mix first five ingredients until crumbly. Put half of the mixture in the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan (sprayed with cooking oil) and pat down. Distribute the huckleberries over the bottom layer. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top of the berries and pat lightly. Bake 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream. ENJOY!!!!!
