“Castle Rock State Park”

We have that park in IL! Of course you can find it in CA, CO, ID, etc., but since you’re “NCalCamper”...

Several times I have cooked for 2-4 families of about 12 total. I used two pepsi stoves and pot stand like this: http://www.trailquest.net/BRcookset.html (I didn’t use any of the other stuff in the picture). I made my own foil wind screen. I had 1.3L and 0.85L Ti pots. They had to eat in shifts of course. But everyone was/is fed in 30 minutes.

I am always surprised how kids and adults like these cheap simple foods:
1. Cup of soups from walmart. This 28 cent item tastes heavenly in the mountains.
2. hot chocolate. Use the soup cup from above.
3. freeze dried scrambled eggs/bacon
4. prepacked flavored oatmeal

All this was done with the Ziploc bag cooking.

I just had to keep the water a boiling (or hot) and we had no dirty dishes to clean.

Have fun!
