We was camping last weekend in Dial Ga where my people are from. We pick some good music, done some fishing, and some good eatin! Here are a few of the highlights. Check out the smoker/grill that my friend made to cook the pork. He used a new horse needle to inject the pork with apple juice, needless to say it was very tasty. We also fish the river and then went up to the Rock Creek Hatchery to watch some kids fish the trout release. Downstream a bit there were folks fishing all over the top of each other like a madhouse. I bet those fish were so full of corn they wouldn’t hardly bite anything LOL!
