Give pizza chants!

I'm back from a trip the Red River Gorge in Kentucky.  The hiking and camping are wonderful, and the scenery is second to none.  Spectacular cliffs, caves, arches and picturesque streams make for a great weekend getaway.  As with most of my travels, the local cuisine is an important facet of the trip.  No visit to the RRG is complete without a stop at Miguel's Pizza at the Red.  Miguel's began as a climber's hangout; now it's a hippie paradise where you can camp in the yard for a few bucks, barter gear for granola, and eat some of the finest pizza I've ever had.  The ingredient list is a mile long, and can be had in any combination you want.  There are four sauces, a dozen meats, dozens of veggies, cheeses, pastas... and other stuff.  Without further ado, here are two pies, made to order.

My pie.  Pepperoni, banana peppers, feta cheese, and pineapple.  Delicious. 

Her pie. Chicken, BBQ sauce, onions, jalapenos,  and avacado.  Also delicious, but spicy!

Here's some random pics of the trip, just to prove I didn't drive two hours for pizza... though I would.

My RRG map has seen better days...

Jetboil, making coffee.  Buy one of these.  It's worth it's weight in gold.

My newest camp knife, the ESEE-3.  It's small, but very capable.

The trail.  This is why I hike.  For some, no explanation is required.  For others, no explanation will do.

We would hike down and make camp on the valley floor knowing the morning hike back up would be grueling in the 90° heat.  Thankfully Miguel's pizza awaited us.
