We had roughly 20 people show up at Moore Creek Campground on the North Mokelumne River off of highway 88. It was several days of good food and good company and I'd like to thank everyone that showed up!

Marc contacted some fellow Germans that are on a multi-year trip around the world and they decided to show up and join the fun. Rudi and Rita were great company and it was great to meet them! You can read about their adventures at Menrad International


Their rig was quite impressive:

It sure was a fun event and looking forward to the next one.
The pig was an experiment turned out pretty good and using that new aluminum Dutch oven worked better than I thought.
