Mike Fraley is getting ready to enter one of
Meramec's wild caves.
(Note to self: Never throw a cup of white gas on a campfire while
others are sitting around it. Think safety.)

O.G.S's favorite cuisine on trips: 10 lb Hobos!
Definition of a Hobo: Take 3 sheets of aluminum
foil, 6 lbs of hamburger,
2 lbs of potatoes, 1 lb of sliced carrots and
onions, liquid smoke, and season
to taste. Wrap all of this up into a ball or log
and throw it on the fire!
One small bite and it will make you slap your daddy!
