Huckleberry Picking #2

From the previous post, readers of this blog will know that we went huckleberry picking at the end of July without much success, but we did have much success at picture taking. We tried again at the end of August. We had success at last! We had to hike up a pretty steep mountain to get to the unpicked delicious berries, but it was worth it. I have never had a huckleberry before, neither had Steven. They are quite scrumptious. Not so to where I would pay $10 for a small container, but enough so I would spend 1 1/2 hours having fun with my husband and friends. We were all getting our pants soaked, and it was freezing up in the mountains. It's normally not like that, but we didn't think that the mountains would still be wet from the previous day's rainfall. It is quite the experience, and we loved every minute of it. To celebrate our findings of he ever-so scrumptious fruit, we headed on over to Big Jud's. Now for all that have never been 'round them here parts, Big Jud's is a restaurant with burgers.

 Not just any burgers, but the BIG JUD burgers which are the largest burgers you will ever see.

This picture (above) doesn't quite do it justice, so

 And to think that there is a double and triple!!!! Even splitting this, we couldn't eat it in one sitting. Crazy. Not only do they give you this huge burger, but you get a basket of fries to go with it. Now, you may think that these fries would be in a small basket, but....

They are huge! The basket and the fries in the basket.
I got my fats and oils in for the week in one day, now that's impressive. Needless to say, that was drenched in sarcasm.



P.S. Huckleberries are A LOT smaller than I imagined. They're tiny!
