 Kentucky Camping trip

We all have our memories of great summer camping trips that come to mind when we look out our windows to see this snow covered landscape. We have Cast iron skillets hanging on hooks, with Dutch ovens sitting on shelves & a tripod in a corner waiting for our next adventure. 

 One memory that will always come to mind is a trip we made to Kentucky last fall. We packed our camper with anticipation of our trip. Everything we could think of was going to be taken on this trip because we were going to be staying at Boonesborough State park. What an adventure this was & one you will not want to miss out on if cast iron cookware & outdoor adventures are as much an interest to you as it is for us. When we arrived there was a welcome that was almost like coming home; People sharing ideas & cookware recipes for everyone that wanted to listen to their stories. Our campfire was burning bright with orange flames while we prepared Jambalaya in one of our largest Dutch ovens. 

 There are several versions of Jambalaya as you know these changes from one family to another. We make it special with an addition of a special Cajun seasoning that we purchase from Camp Dog Cajun Seasonings. We use a little more of this than some people in our Jambalaya but you can adjust to your taste. From experience at our campsite is that almost everyone asked for a second helping of this when they visited our camp.
We also picked up some pork tenderloins at a local market for this evening that we are preparing with camp dog mild Cajun seasoning as a rub. 

You cannot believe how this fills a campground with a smell of pine, Cajun spices & cooked chicken, pork & lots of burnt marshmallow. Now folks tell me that this doesn’t get you in a mood for a cookout? We had everyone in our side of this campground coming over to see what was going on at our site.. Some brought their chairs back to sit and tell about their Old Dutch oven that was handed down from generations before, some wanted to know where we bought our new heavy built tripod. This was our memorable experience that we wanted to share with you. Be sure to get out in this great outdoors & make memories like this one of your own. We would like to hear from you & hear what experiences you have had. Leave your comments so we can share your ideas too!
