Picnic Freezers

Food

Outside Cooking

Power Burner

In our original planning for this trip we felt that both time and money could be saved by cooking our meals on the road but it didn't work out exactly that way. We had taken along two freezers with various kinds of canned food together with bacon and eggs. The picnic basket contained the dishes - dry cereals - silver ware, etc. This meant that these had to be carried in the trunk together with the bottled gas two burner stove. First of all outside of the State  of Ohio we did not find too many convenient and places to prepare a meal at. In Ohio there were many many Roadside places especially prepared for that purpose with running pump water. By the time we unloaded the trunk and got the food cooking it became a battle as to whether we or the flies would get the benefit. After the meal-getting the dishes washed-everything in the trunk repacked -place picked up - it just wasn't worth the effort so we settled for a light breakfast at a restaurant- a light lunch at 12M or 1:00PM and a good substantial dinner at night in the best restaurant we could find. May have cost more but believe it was best in the long run.
