We went to the Ghost area again.
We explored some new areas on the quad.
The dogs loved it as usual.
We saw a few Coyotes, quite a few deer and a funny house on wheels.

Here is a map of the Ghost Area

We are a group of Friends who get together at least once a month for a braai (barbecue)

We also had a Raclette party

"A modern way of serving raclette involves an electric table-top grill with small pans, known as coupelles, to heat slices of raclette cheese in. Generally the grill is surmounted by a hot plate or griddle. The cheese is brought to the table sliced, accompanied by platters of boiled or steamed potatoes, other vegetables, charcuterie, and perhaps seafood. Diners create their own small packages of food by cooking small amounts of meat, vegetables and seafood on the griddle. These are then mixed with potatoes and topped with cheese in the small, wedge-shaped coupelles that are placed under the grill to melt and brown the cheese. Alternatively, slices of cheese may be melted and simply poured over food on the plate. The accent in raclette dining is on relaxed and sociable eating and drinking, the meal often running to several hours. French and other European supermarkets generally stock both the grill apparatus and ready-sliced cheese and charcuterie selections, especially around Christmas. Restaurants also provide raclette evenings for parties of diners." - Wikipedia

Hubby and the dogs went riding with the quad at McKlean Creek during the long weekend.
