 CHUCKWAGON FIXIN'S FROM COOKY JASON Hey there, campers! Here is a quick and easy meal that is one of our favorite camp recipes. When camping, the rule of thumb for great recipes is to maximize taste and nutrition while minimizing prep time and cleanup. The best camp cooking recipes allow you to do this with the limited resources available in the outdoors. Cooky Jason's World Famous Camping Kabobs Who doesn't like kabobs? We're in full camping swing now and it's high time we get into some grilling action. And kabobs are just plain fun. The key to making these special is in the marinade. Of course there are countless marinades you can do. You can play mad scientist and come up with all manner of concoctions. The idea here is to have fun with it and experiment. Major Players - Beef cubes - Don't use stew meat here. London broil is really great, but sometimes I even use New York Strip or rib eye (my personal favorite). Just make sure it's cut into 1-inch cubes. 4 to 5 per kabob, so you're looking at about 3lbs to serve 7 to 8 people

- ½ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil, plus 2 to 3 tsp for tossing veggies with

we came across two markers that said simply Unknown Arizona Pioneers. Later research on this site revealed quite a story about the Apache War legends surrounding these gravesites.
