The 3rd annual High Valley Huckleberry Smore Cook-off was held last Sunday . It is a fiercely competitive event between my grandkids. They take smores roasting to another level. It is a particularly fun time for me and one I look forward to more than anything else because 1. It is one of the few times I get to see my grandkids since they all live out of state from Fairbanks to Dallas. And 2. I’m the judge! I had to award 2 first places this year to the 2 oldest. One because it was the best smore I’ve ever eaten and the other because it was a non-traditional smore( chocolate chip cookies instead of graham crackers) which was by far the best thing I ate that day. They all have to have fresh huckleberries, hence the name of the cook-off. If you’ve never had a huckleberry smore you are missing something and you may certainly attend next years event to help me eat them.! Huckleberries were in short supply this year. Very few berries on a bush if at all in all my picking spots until one. Why I don’t know but it was loaded so the competition was on.
I don’t know how to put captions with each picture so they are, An early morning picking session, one of the few bushes we found that had huckleberries, a topless smore( I downgraded this one because the chocolate was not soft and I was still hungry), getting serious in the heat of the battle, and the chocolate chip huckleberry smore. And the last one is what we do when we are too full of smores, we go fish.
This year I had 2 bows up there as well from 15 to 40 pounds that my 3 oldest grandsons could shoot. I have a 3D sheep target I bought from our bow club when they replaced theirs so I told them all when their moms asked what we’d been doing to tell them “ just hanging out with granddad, shootin the sheep”
