This weekend ought to be an interesting and fun one. We're packing up and rolling south to Big Sur for the weekend with a few friends and a dog.
The hardest part about going on a trip like this is not knowing how much food to bring, what spices must go and all the other myriad food based questions that can arise.
Clothes and camping gear are pretty straight forward but food's subjective and more subtle. You never want to run out of food while camping but you also don't want to haul your entire pantry into the wilderness.
And then, car camping is a very different animal than hiking into the back country where every ounce you bring is another ounce on your shoulders and hips. Car camping is a more indulgent form of camping that allows the chance to bring alot more equipment than is necessary.
But that's half the fun, isn't it? Not having to worry about having enough to eat. Just enjoying the wilderness area. We'll see how the meals go, should be interesting if nothing else. I'll see about adding pics later.
