Moderators Mike and Carol Posted November 21, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 21, 2023 Happy Thanksgiving fellow campers and travelers! We’re home this year (although we considered joining our son and family who are camping this week at Grand Canyon NP). I’ll be smoking two 12lb free range turkeys on the Primo ceramic this year. We’ve been doing two turkeys for quite a while, one inside in the oven and one outside on the smoker. The smoked turkey always wins the taste test, so we’ll just do both outside on the smoker this year!

jd1923 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Happy Thanksgiving to ALL! Chris is making her usual magic in the kitchen today. We should get a fire going in the fireplace! Listening now to classical music. We're going to take some time this long weekend to plan some upcoming camping trips (for Dec, Feb and April). All I've been doing is working on our Oliver, and more so on the truck. We need to get out again! Mid December we will travel to some warmer parts of SW AZ. Starting with a few nights at Burro Creek Campground, we will swing through Quartzite for a night or two, on way to Yuma (I need to work in a dental visit in Los Algodones). You can dry-camp at the Quechan Casino (Indian Territory right there on the boarder). Interested in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge, perhaps there is camping there, or other BLM boondocking between Yuma and Quartzite. Will hit Wickenburg on the way back, eat lunch at Cowboy Cookin' and boondock again at Vulture Mountain. Final stop at Lake Pleasant Regional Park, located in the NW Phoenix Valley. There is always day-of dry-camping available, empty your tanks and fill with decent fresh water. We've been to some of these spots, but never in an Oliver! Now that I wrote it, I believe we have most of our first plan done! 5 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SeaDawg Posted November 23, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2023 I'll post some photos tomorrow. Our Minnesota camping and sailing friends got a late start, so pot roast for Thanksgiving. Easier to hold, for late arrival. Trash can turkey tomorrow. Campfire is burning.

jd1923 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 @SeaDawg what happened to the back half of your Ollie? Yeah, those lil' Ollies are so cute! Still daylight out west, near sunset. On my first drink, but don't worry, I'll catch up to y'all soon. 🤣 No camping here today, just a simple oven-roasted holiday bird. Our son Adam just came upstairs to mash potatoes, the old-fashioned way, with homemade gravy, yum! Love the cartoon supplied by @mountainoliver - thank you! To all, have fun with your family & friends and Happy Thanksgiving! 2 2 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

We're just the littler cousin. That's our Minnesota friends' trailer hull 30 something.. We are father down the hill. Littler can be good. It's all about what you want, and need. We're not big people, so the Elite has been good for us.

GraniteStaters Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 We left NH in mid-October and headed southwest. On Thanksgiving Day we were at Live Oak Ridge Park (COE) in Belton, TX. With so little space to store leftovers we decided to cook a turkey breast on the grill and have mashed potatoes and broccoli salad as sides. I made an apple pie in the microwave/convection and it was sure better than my "harder than stabilizer brick" brownies. I might be getting the hang of this thing! The turkey breast was delicious! We've been from NH to TX in the last 5 weeks and not yet seen another Ollie, but we keep looking!
