One of the great pleasures of camping is cooking in the
out-of-doors within beautiful surroundings. Whatever your mode of
travel, whether it be backpacking in the high altitude, camping in
a tent, pop-up trailer, camper, travel trailer, motor home or
boating the closeness to nature is rewarding. The wonderful aroma
of campfire smoke, the vista of a lake, stream and mountains, the
animals and birds close at hand, and the smell of evergreens
enhance the experience. The dry desert camping among smoke trees
with lizards scurrying around is satisfying also.
