Fun cooking, fishing & camping weekend

My wife and I joined flyfishing folks at the South East Fly fishing Conclave at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga this past weekend. We camp at FDR State Park 2 miles from Callaway. There are clinics on fly fishing from some of the best teachers, fly tiers and casters in the country. (not me I am there to learn) We also fished some.

This was the first camping trip for L'il Eggsta. I only had time to cook on it on Saturday. It was worth it. I cooked hot dogs for lunch...no pics but they were great...

then about 2:00Pm I got going with the first of 3 appetizers...Shrimp Rattlers...these are shrimp which are butterflied with a slice of jalapeno pepper placed down the middle then wrapped in bacon and then DP Shakin the Tree...cooked indirect for about 20 minutes turning once...then dipped in Pappy's XXX White Lightning BBQ sauce





then came ABT's stuffed with cream cheese & peach mango salsa (no pics but great)

then shrimp basted in butter, garlic & DP's Swamp Venom





for dinner I did baked potatoes, flat iron steaks & nutella quesadillas...sorry no pics there either

here is our camper

It was a fun weekend... :woohoo:
