Lighthawk's post got me thinking about this topic...and thinking about all the Thanksgiving Days I've spent out in the middle of nowhere camping.
Most of these times I've been by myself, but even then I've usually tried to have a turkey-day component to it, even if it was turkey and sides that I'd already cooked at home so just had to heat up at camp.
Back in the '90s, CraggyMan and I did a full-on T-day feast while camped at the mouth of McGill Canyon on the west side of the Jackson Mountains on the far-northeast side of the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada.
We grilled a full turkey on a Weber kettle q...with all the fixin's -- out there in the middle of nowhere.
As good as Martha could have done, we thought.
We did this in that spot for a couple of years. It was great!
The Kentuckian's (a couple of desert rats from Bowling Green, Kentucky, believe-it-or-not, who were camped in "our spot" the second year of this tradition) said they were going to climb this snow encrusted peak -- "King Lear Peak"...but then they came to their senses and decided it wasn't a good day to die.
Anybody else have stories/photos to share of Thanksgiving-Day dinners done while way-out-and-about?
