Backpacking Bly Gap to Neels Gap

Backpacking Southbound

 from Bly Gap to Neels Gap


Back in the month of December, 2011, the JaxTal Adventure Club embarked on a 45 mile backpacking trip. We had transport up to the closest drop-off point we could get to Bly Gap and started our hiking  just below Bly Gap at Blue Ridge Gap, hiking southbound to Neels gap on the Appalachian Trail. We visited most of the shelters, enjoyed mountain vistas and rugged trails.

They fit perfect, not too tight when sitting in a chair, yet snug enough when walking. ...

Collection of Bannock Recipes- Campfire Cooking

Collection of Bannock Recipes Bannock is a very old and simple bread that is easily made and simple to cook. It's great for outdoor campfire cooking, either in a pan or wrapped on a stick. Wrapped around a stick is how I cooked it. If cooking on a stick, be sure not to make it too thick as it will take longer to cook or tend to cook too much on the outside, leaving the inside a bit doughy. Below, I have gathered together a collection of bannock recipes from the internet. Pick one and give it a try! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup blueberries or whatever you'd like - raisins, cranberries, dried fruits Water Oil, for frying or grilling Directions Mix the dry ingredients and berries, then slowly mix in enough water to make a stiff dough.
