Road Trip!

“Life is a journey, not a destination.”

Last year, I wrote about our plans to take our fifth-wheel travel trailer to Ohio for the 2011 NDOG.  The journey was filled with so many wonderful memories, especially the amazing 3-Pot Cook Off, and the numerous new friends we met along the way.

The same is true this year in Canton!  I cannot share all of the amazing new and old friends, but here are a few….

The road trip to any DOG (Dutch Oven Gathering) is motivated by friendships.  Yes, we love to cook, but most important is sharing good food with good friends!
