Cowgirl, I have cooked a lot of things underground, but one cook just has to stand out. Like you, at the lake with friends who were depending on my cooking. Needless to say, we were all under the influence, cook included. I started to dig the hole and it was too hard, kept moving towards the lake until it got soft enough to dig. I finished the hole, built a fire, let it burn down and placed a dutch oven with a roast into the hole and covered it up. That night when we dug it up, water had come in the hole and put the fire out, roast was still kind of in the rare stage. Needless to say, it was more pork chops in a can for supper that night. Sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men........how does that saying go????
Nice cooking cowgirl.
