So like I had said in the last blog, we had snacks to the exponential power of like 20 because we knew that we were going out into no man’s land and that the nearest grocery store would be 40 miles away with major backtracking, and well, we didn’t want a Donner party on our hands, lol.
So, we loaded up on groceries in Burns that we knew we could make with our limited ammendities of a gas grill and a microwave at the Cowboy Cabin, which consisted of two days of hot dogs, grilled corn and bagged salads. We did oatmeal in the morning, and always had the fixin’s for pb&j picnic lunches. It all worked well and we are still working our way through the snack bags two weeks later…so we still have that going for us.
I of course brought my own gluten and dairy friendly snacks that included meat sticks, and protein bars, protein oatmeal, tortilla chips, trail mix sans M&M’s (insert 😢 here), and fresh fruit and veggies. I also was smart enought to pack my own bagels, and hot dog buns ahead of time as I didn’t think I’d find my gf/df stuff in the boonies.
Ok, ok- if I HAD to tell you my favorite place it’d be the Obsidian fields, with the Crack in the Ground as a close second. I got lost for like 2 hrs in the tranquility of finding the perfect stones, and I ended up findng two sets of bookends that have the most beautiful swirls of sharp AF black glass…I mean look at the look on my face as I hold those rock ya’ll, just saying I found enormous ones after that and now they sit on my desk holding up my notebooks full of all my hopes and dreams- they have a big job to do…
