scouting the cabin

Clary and I decided to check out Doyle's River cabin for ourselves - and her 6 months pregnant!

The walk in was almost all down hill, and the cabin is less than half a mile from Skyline Drive, so you'll hardly break a sweat on the way in.

Here's the view from the front porch. Just imagine the watching the moonrise fro
m here sitting next to the outdoor fireplace...
(caution: the gray rocks at the bottom of the picture mark a steep drop off!)

We'll need to plan a menu for the trip - any volunteers?
We can buy the food on our way up to the mountains. We should plan for 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners & 2 lunches, light weight food, easy to prepare.

About 100 yards from the cabin is a spring that comes out of the mountain and collects in a small pool - let's hope we have plenty of rain between now and then. Here our dogs Betty and Ellie enjoy tasting the cool spring waters...

I have an excellent camp breakfast recipe, which is "Egg McSchaefers" (named after my brother in law, their creator). The eggs cook over the fire in muffin tins (makes them the right size to fit in english muffins), so you can do 12-24 at a time! other necessary supplies are the english muffins and canadian bacon (optional). yum!
