Jiggly Wiggly


Just some pics of Ayesha's and my camping trip last weekend...the weather forecasts were dire, but apart from some added slipperiness and diminished views on Algonquin (that improved at the last minute), we didn't have too much trouble. We were mostly disturbed by the mysterious noises that seemed to be coming from a nearby RV...that's the price we pay for car camping, I guess. Check out the amount of stuff we had for breakfast alone, though, and I think you'll see why backpacking was a less practical option. We had 3 different kinds of coffee - not exactly roughing it in an extreme sort of way. Episode #3 (aka Operation Jiggly Wiggly) of the tasting tour of halal/kosher marshmallows available in Minneapolis held a surprising twist - an unexpected hint of strawberry flavor - but it didn't ruin the s'mores, and it was still a far cry better than the last round. For those who might be interested, beef gelatin makes a way better marshmallow than fish gelatin. Anyway, we had a great time, and if Ayesha ever comes back to the States after residency, I think she might even comtinue to help me toward my extremely eventual goal of becoming an Adirondack 46er. 3 down, 43 to go...
