Dutch Oven Cornish Game Hen
I am always on the lookout for something I can roast over the campfire in my dutch oven. Given that I like to cook over a live fire rather than classic coals, this generally means that I need something that is thick enough to take a sear without turning out well done but thin enough to be cooked through. So, when I saw Cornish game hen on sale after the holidays, I was thrilled. Not only did I have something new, but something well sized for my dutch oven with room for baby potatoes!

French 75
Different drinks transport us to other times and places. The French 75 is a bubbling glass of nostalgia. It is to be held in the hand of a silver screen starlet and toasted as fireworks explode in the background. While I forgo garnish on most of my cocktails, the French 75 almost begs for it. And, best of all: it is so easy to make. Heck, if you are willing to prepare it ahead of time and keep it chilled, you don't even need the ice cubes (which is a plus for nomads such as us where ice cubes are in rare supply.) Mix up your evening with this cocktail classic.
Calaveras Big Trees State Park
The Sierra Nevada mountains range is host to a stunning range of natural diversity. With the ocean to the west, the desert to the east, and glacial mountaintops in between, there are new surprises to be encountered with each change in ecosystem. At about 4,700 feet in elevation and just off Alpine State Highway is a collection of giants that can grow to 325 feet tall and 33 feet wide - some as old as 2,000 years. Despite a turbulent, tragic, and occasionally uncertain history, these giants are now protected for all to enjoy in the Calaveras Big Trees State Park.
