The family and I took a week-long camping/fishing trip over Tioga Pass behind Yosemite National Park. Just got back last night with some Q-view from the trip. I made the fattie before leaving so we could have a simple breakfast or two. The ingredients included spinach, potato, onion, havarti & cheddar cheeses, & scrambled eggs.

Filled up my fattie piston and set it on an Italian sausage platform...

I wrapped the fattie in my own buckboard bacon; it was so stuffed that I had a hard time sealing it up! The bacon wrap bound it all together in the end.

Smoked it with hickory.

I sliced and warmed these up in a cast iron skillet over a campfire along with some biscuits in my dutch oven  It was a purely cast iron campfire breakfast!

And here's the "happy camper" evidence...

As the pic shows, everything turned out great. Not much left over after a few college students and a HS senior hammered the food.

Got everybody ready for a great day on the trout stream, though!

Thanks for looking!
 
I used to camp in that area with my daughter. Did you see any bears? How was the fishing? The fatty looks great !!!!!!!!!!!

Been camping and fishing here ourselves for a long time.  My son caught his first fish up there many moons ago.  Lots and lots of great memories!

No bears this trip, but I did run into fresh bear scat collecting firewood.  The ranger said they didn't have any bears in camp this year that he was aware of. 

The fishing was awesome in some of the usual spots!  I caught 10+ fish daily -- mostly planted rainbows (released most of them).  There will be trout q-view later.

  Other usual spots were un-fish-able because the water flows were too big.  Lots of snow still up there!

One of our long-time family friends joined us and caught her first fish this trip.

Here's one of the views from near our campground:

Not much...

  The cigars and adult beverages in the evenings moved things in the "better" direction, though!!

looks awesome! did you pre-cook your taters or did they cook inside the fattie?
they were pre-baked.  Practically everything I roll in my fatties is pre-cooked -- except veggies, I guess.
What a cool place!!

Any Pics of the trout??

These were the best 5 on the last day.  Threw back 10-15 besides these cause we already had enough fish-cicles in the freezer.  I'm probably smoking those this weekend.
