Camping with the eggs(long)

"Sparky"

We had a cub-scout camping trip over the weekend and I was elected to be the "camp cook" :blink: Well,I brought my XL and medium eggs to feed them all.Everyone ate before getting there on Friday afternoon,so we just snacked Friday night,but Saturday was a pretty busy day for me.I started the XL at 6:00AM and prepped and cooked a bunch of hodag cookies(they disappeared fast) :ohmy: At 11:00AM,I fired up the medium for a bunch of burgers and dogs.While I was still cooking the last of the burgers,I fired up the XL(around noon)for the babyback ribs.Unfortunately,I only got a couple shots of the ribs(while everyone else went swimming) :P Anywho,they told me that they wanted "fall off the bone" ribs,so I decided on the 3/1/1 method.I was a little late foiling them(with apple cider vinegar),but while they were foiled,a giant thunderstorm brewed up :ohmy: The kids and parents rode out the storm in the lodge while I sat in the van waiting for a break in the weather so I could unfoil them They were in the foil for over 2hrs before I could get to them safely :pinch: I got them back on the egg(in pieces)and added the sauce.I only ate a couple(because I was starving),but they(7 adults)ate all 6 racks and raved about them They were just too "fall apart" to me.Sorry,I know that I'm rambling,but it just amazes me that some people like ribs this way,so I guess it's true,we all have our own taste We still had fun,but everyone went home Saturday night to ride out the storms except me and one couple and their kid.I ended up sleeping in my van since my tent flooded What a great trip,I wouldn't have missed it for the world :laugh: Thanks for listening,here's a couple pics

Doug, I know it was a lot of work...getting those eggs out there safely but it will definitely be worth the effort. One day that boy of yours will recall that weekend with great memories and thank you for being such a great and INVOLVED dad.

I know Ron,pretty funny that I left the small and mini at home,but carried the XL and medium :S It would've taken forever to cook 6 racks of ribs on the small though :ohmy:

"Sparky"

Thanks bro,it was alot of fun man :woohoo: I just wish that I could've made it to Lake Hartwell to hang with some eggers,but the timing just didn't work out :pinch: My kid is happy,so "Sparky" is happy :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Fantástico Sparky Boy!!!!!

Smut-butt

That's a beautiful campground. What is the name of it or is this a Scout Camping facility only?
I know that the kids loved it. I have many memories of boy scout camping trips in my younger days.
Enjoy those kids while you can.

Hey Doug hope all the troops had a great time despite the bad weather. You were well missed at our camp. There is always next time. Kudos on fall off the bone also.

Gosh Sparky, I would have joined the cub scouts instead of the girl scouts if I had known they egged their chow. :side:

BENTE

hayhonker

our scout camping trips never looked like that! I recall eggs cooked in orange peels, french loaf on a stick, Dinty Moore. That sure was a while ago.
