A Most Epic Trip To Leo Carillo

[Robert]

9 of us made a trip up to Leo Carillo State Beach to spend the weekend chilling,
eating, drinking, and if time permitted, fishing.



This place has one of the nicest campgrounds around! Lots of trees for shade,
showers, and a really nice atmosphere.



We had a few cocktails and chilled Friday afternoon.



The time came to get this party started the right way with a massive seafood
boil!



This boil had the works!





When we dumped it out on the table it was a thing of beauty!







It was one of the most unbelievable meals any of us had ever eaten!
We chilled after dinner and called it a night.

The next day we chowed down on some awesome breakfast burritos that had everything in them. Yum!

We headed down to the beach afterwards to do a little fishing and relaxing.



The Santa Ana winds were kicking pretty good. It made for some tough fishing. On the plus side it was sunny and warm. We stayed on the beach for a couple of hours and headed back to camp for lunch. We had a little bit of everything. Lan made some killer eggrolls! Perry made some abt's that were awesome! Jackie and Bob had some homemade shrimp and scallop cevichie
that was to die for! I whipped up a grilled eggplant with ricotta cheese and balsamic vinegar sandwich. We were so full from lunch that we were concerned we might not be able to eat dinner.







Dinner consited of BBQ tri tip made by Scott and Perry. Steve smoked a ham and we fixed some beans. We also had macaroni and potato salads with garlic bread.



It was a fantastic feast! Everything was excellent! We hung out around the camp fire after dinner trading stories and having a bunch of laughs! That night the Santa Ana's were cranking! Some of the gusts had to be well over
40 mph. I thought my tent was going over a couple of times. Most of us didn't get much sleep that night. In the morning the wind never let up. Trying to pack up a tent with the wind gusting to 35 mph is a real pain. Somehow
Lan and Perry managed to cook a great breakfast under brutal conditions. We
got everything packed up and we split around 9:00 A.M. It was a fantastic trip with some great friends! You guys rock!
