We picked up a permits from the ranger station in North Bend today and headed up to the area around Denny Creek to harvest trees with Uncle img_3962Beefer, Erin, Kate, Don and Becky.    The open area was along FSR 5510.  We drove up about 3 miles, just above where the snow line would be if there was any this year.   I know this because the rain turned to hail and then to snowflakes the size of golf balls just as we parked.   The wind howled and we all got soaked.  Dawn paraded LuLu around in a puffy pink one-piece getup – complete with idot mittens – in the backpack.  Once the trees were loaded up we piled into Don’s van for hot chocolate and ham sandwiches.  Ho Ham Ho.

I could see the boys doing this sort of thing someday.  Just hope it’s not me who takes the fall…

Took a stab last night at one of my favorite mexican dishes, tacos al pastor.  Don, Becky, Uncle Beefer, Erin and Kate joined us for dinner.  I used this recipe and love the way they turned out.  Next time I’m going to grill up some pineapple and add it to the chopped pork just before serving.  A friend of mine also suggested rubbing dry mustard on the roast before adding the marinade.  Good stuff.
