It's going to be a cold one this weekend but I think I'm ready! 20 degree underquilt and 15 degree down mummy bag on top of clothing layers. I'm so excited to hang with new random people from the internet. I should be rolling into camp around 8PM at the latest.

I'm driving all the way from Maine to hang out with random internet people! Wuhooo!!!! Although I actually know most of these people from anyone being face to face at one point or another. That first hang though a few years back...

Two quarts of salsa verde cooling in the fridge. I can't tell how spicy it is because I guess I'm a little immune to habanero peppers. Anyway, the salsa verde will have a chance to marinate overnight so the flavors will be well blended.

Ingredients

2 lbs. roasted tomatillo
4 roasted jalapeno peppers
3 roasted Scotch bonnet peppers
1 roasted Habanero pepper from my garden
1 White Onion
1 Bunch Cilantro
8 cloves garlic (4 roasted with tomatillo, 4 raw)
Juice from 4 Limes
Black pepper
Salt
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon olive oil

I thought about throwing a Ghost Pepper from my garden in, but Ghost Peppers can be a bit unpredictable so I skipped it. The salsa verde will taste great on pulled pork, and will go nicely with breakfast as well.

My wife thought I made the salsa verde because her cousin is coming to visit this weekend. Silly girl.

What the hell is a tomatillo?

What an amazing weekend that was!!!
Super thanks to Jeremiah (Silentorpheous), Pete (Ratdog) and Mike (njredneck) for coordinating this weekend, and for EVERYONE who just made it a GREAT time with their friendliness, generosity and awesome hammock shhhtuff!!

As for me, I learned a lot!
It got under 30 degrees overnight and I can now say I know what it’s like to be a human popsicle!! (Saturday night was much better thanks to friends help!).

The day hike on Saturday was along the sandy/pine needles trail called the Batona. It was led by some “super hikers” who took off at bullet speed. I had neither the fitness, nor the hiking footwear (due to other circumstances I had a bad combo of socks and sneakers), and dubbed myself the “trail roadkill” for the day. It stunk to have to admit my limits, but I cut out at 2.5 miles in. Still I totaled 5 miles with feet that felt like tenderized meat at the end. But hey, the sun was up, and my nap once I got into camp was nice and sunny warm (even though I really didn’t actually nap).

The socializing could not be beat! Friends from New England (MA, ME), and PA, made a ton of new friends at the campground (there were 50+ of us altogether), including a new friend from Washington State and I had a blast!!

Ahhh.. memories to get me through the week!
