Camping in the Northwest can be iffy pretty much year round. You might call it a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. Camping the first week of August, in the middle of the state however, pretty much guarantees you dry weather. Well, not this year. We had planned to spend two nights camping. Instead we spent one night camping, in the rain. Woke up to two sick family members. Tried to have fun anyway and went bowling and played mini put-put. Thing 3 threw a fit about 7 holes in, sat down and refused to play. Then refused to move from the shade under the tree. Back at the campsite a swarm of bees had made themselves at home. Thing 2 wouldn't even go into the campsite! So we called it. Packed up the gear and headed home while the rain started to come down again.
I did get to try out my birthday present! It took a while to figure out the cooking with coals thing, but managed to make a delicious raspberry dump cobbler and used the lid for pancakes. It definitely cooks slower but I think it just takes time to get the ratio of coals for the food and conditions.
