Flaming Gorge Some Camp Areas #1

Camp grounds on the east side of the lake are in a nice high plains area not far from the red desert.  The camp grounds are closed during the winter but the photos will give you an idea of the area.

Out on the sage flats with a good view of the lake.  Many of the sites are for smaller RV's not all are level.


 

Mustang CG

This campground is set in the pine trees with no hookups many of the sites are level.  Branches look cut back so RVs can drive through in most cases.  There is drinkable water in the campground and it has restrooms.

Leaving Wind River Indian Reservation

We had a great time gambling in Lander and Riverton Wyoming on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming.  On the way home another snow storm was coming in so we headed south.  We do not carry snow chains so we had to get through the pass before the storms came in.  Once these storms hit the pass often gets dangerous and tire chains are required on all vehicle commercial as well as personal vehicles.

 

When I was younger I did not mind crawling around my auto to put tire chains on, but now that I am older it is not as fun so we do not drive if chains are required:)

 

Here you can see the snow storm heading north as we just came through the pass and are heading south.  We got out of the area with only a few snow flurries, not a time to drive at night.

Powdered Eggs

I bought an 8oz can of powdered eggs which equals 16 eggs.  For one egg take 2 tbsp. powdered eggs to 3 tbsp. water whisk and cook.  When I broke down the cost of powdered eggs compared to fresh her is what I found.  One fresh egg 22 cents, a powdered egg equivalent is 88 cents not on sale. 

If you do not open the can the eggs can last for a few years.  If you open the can and start using it you can keep the open can in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.  I have also heard you can keep an open can on a shelf in a dark cool none refrigerated area for 1 to 4 weeks max.  I kept this one open with the snap on lid in a dark non refrigerated shelf for over two weeks.

There not cheap at this small a quantity, but we will keep a can in the RV just in case we have a need.

Here is the can with one egg mixed up in a bowl.

Here I poured it and some bacon bits into a microwave one egg cooker and cooked it for one minute. Put it on an English Muffin and enjoyed it:)  Taste was fine:)

 



Here I have a microwave omelet cooker with some oil in it and a small bowl with the mix and water for 3 eggs not mixed up yet.

Here is the cooked omelet in its cooker with bacon bits and cheese.  Cooked for just over 1 minute.

Here is the omelet with some pan cooked potatoes it all tasted great:)

 

I have in the past bought powdered milk, pre-cooked bacon that is also shelf stable and of course instant potatoes and all were fine and I use them today as well.

 

Please note the cooking that was done here was at 6600 feet altitude can have an effect on how you cook with some things.

Memories of Duluth

This coming summer Kathy and I are planning to meet up with my brother and sister north of Saint Lewis along the river for a week.  The six of us try to make a week of it once a year at a minimum, and we pick a different location each year.  So I will be publishing some photos in July on that venture.

In the mean time I keep thinking back to our last Duluth trip and all the shipping that comes in through the great lakes.  I am hoping to tie in a side trip up there after our family reunion than head down south to see Kathy's family.

Here are a few more photos of Duluth.

 For a speed boat this size the lift bridge is not need to go up.

 Here is a photo with the lift bridge part way up, viewed from the top of the city.
