The inaugural Mesquite Open Dutch

Oven Cook-off highlights activity at the

CasaBlanca Resort HotelJan. 7-8 with

an impressive $5,000 purse and the

expectation of 30 teams competing

behind the presentation of the same

man who spearheads the annual

Smokin in Mesquite BBQ Champion-ship each Labor Day Weekend.

The Mesquite Open Dutch Oven event

is expected to turn the grounds of the

CasaBlanca into a culinary delight.

We will start with all of the teams

cooking Jan. 7, explained Arlie Bragg,

whose Smokin in Mesquite BBQ com-

petition on Labor Day weekend draws

teams from all over the country each

year. On the final day, half of those

teams will advance to the final round.

Bragg, a 12-year veteran of cooking

competition events, said the response to

the event has been strong in a very

short period of time with emails being

received from several states including

Idaho , Utah , New Mexico , Nevada

November 27th event and it was great for

the vendors and shoppers as well. We

really had fun. We saw some very unique

gifts at that show. So dont miss the De-

cember 11th event. This is a great familyevent.

Allure of The Sea Cruise

TOPOGEAR will be Cruising in Decemberaboard Royal CaribbeansAllure of The

Sea We hope to have lots of Photos and

an unbiased trip report to share with you

readers in the January 2011 Newsletter.

We would like to hear from readers if you

might be interested in a group event sail in

the coming year? Please provide us some

feedback at [email protected] Type of

trip, length, destination etc. We may organ-

ize an event if there is enough interest out

there.

We sailed with Royal Caribbean in that past

aboard the Mariner of The Sea We re-

ceived top rated service and expect nothing

less on this upcoming cruise.

If you have never cruised, expect to be pam-

pered with the finest food and accommoda-

tions. We suggest balcony rooms over inner

rooms. Believe us, the extra fee is well

worth the cost. We enjoyed the views while

in port and under way. Those of course

wanted to save some money can opt for the

inner rooms. The deck is always open and

most people only spend their time in the

room sleeping.

Our last cruise was out of Long Beach, Cali-

fornia. This one will be out off Fort

Lauderdale. (Continue on page 2)

Dutch Oven Cookoff from page 1

and Arizona along with several calls from

California . Competition will be staged in the

CasaBlanca Event Center

This is absolutely competitive, said the soft

-spoken Bragg explaining that the contestants

cook with charcoal. They will cook gourmet

like crown roasts and salmon. The cooks use

tables that are 18 inches off the ground, andthey have very strict rules. They will be

judged ingredients. There is going to be an

incredible amount of culinary work going

into this event.

Three pots with different items including

breads, a main course and dessert will be

cooked in the Dutch ovens.

The first Mesquite Open Dutch Oven Cook-

off event is expected to lead to the richest

event of its kind at the CasaBlanca in 2011.

Its another exciting new event for the Casa-Blanca , said Christian Adderson, sporting

events manager. We anticipate a great turn-

out for our first event and expect that the

Dutch oven competition will grow over the

next couple of years to become the richest of

its kind in the world.

Adderson said the staff of the CasaBlanca

met with Bragg after the 2010 Smokin in

Mesquite BBQ event.

We appreciate Arlies passion with cooking

events, said Adderson, a 31 year-old nativeof Seattle , Wash. who has been with Black

Gaming for five years. There is great interes

in Dutch Oven competition especially in

Utah and other surrounding states.

Trip Report: Colorado River Canoe Trip 11/6/2010 (Las Vegas Canoe Club)

The Las Vegas Canoe Clubleft on a 2 day, 14 mile downriver trip. There were six

of us. We where picked up by Helen who owns Desert River Outfitters. A 30 minute

shuttle ride that took us across the recently opened bridge at Hoover Dam. What a

time saver that was. We had a late start, so that made up lots of time.

We unloaded the canoes and stowed our gear, food and firewood. There was

only a breath of air so we launched in nearly flat calm water. This section of river has

little current. Willow Beach is actually about 11 river miles south of Hoover Dam.

Launching at Willow Beach, we were heading south to Nelsons Landing, 14 river

miles south. The Landing and river edge communitylong since washed away in a

devastating flash flood that came surging down the normally dry wash in 1974.

We made about 4 miles of the 14 total and some in the group wanted to stop and

make camp. That was to be a ill fated decision.

We set up camp and enjoyed what was left of the afternoon, and evening. The

temperature was pleasant. We shared the campfire, food and stories. Recanted sights

we had seen coming downriver. On the water the terrain is seen more in detail and

up-close. Birds, fish, critters on the bank and the occasional Petroglyph if one takes

the time to find them. To some people, passing the area in a car, one might think the

area stark and lifeless.

The next morning we were on the water at 9:30am with Helen scheduled to pick

us up 10 more miles down river. We immediately had head winds of around

25MPH. These winds were not predicted. The next 10 miles were physically ex-

hausting. Our last canoe full of members pulling in around 5pm in the dark.

Departing Willow Beach on the Colorado River.

bag and drizzle the sauce over the Chicken Cordon Bleu

Garnish with fluted mushrooms and shredded Gouda Cheese

Dutch Oven Heat Three Up-Three Down RuIt is better to place more coals or briquettes on the lid o

the Dutch oven. Many Dutch oven cooks follow a sim

three up, three down rule. Measure the diameter of yo

Dutch oven and add 3 to estimate how many briquettes

place on the lid. Take 3 away from the diameter measu

ment and this is the number you need to place under th

Dutch oven.

If you have a 12 inch Dutch oven. 12 + 3 = 15. Place

briquettes on the lid of your oven.

DutchOvenGathering

Three weeks before ChristmasAnd were bored in a fog.Then Bill pipes up,Lets have a DOG.

Now its SaturdayAnd all thru the yard,The cooks were scurryingAnd working so hard.

Fireboxes and tablesWere setup with care,The ground is all white

And theres snow in the air.

The cooks were all carefulTo fill their Dutch Oven,Now make room palsTherell be no shovin.

Tanya said hey RobThe Kingsford is glowing,So we put up a big tarpBecause its still snowing.

We added more coals

It was clear to me,We needed more heatBecause its minus 4 degrees.

The food has been cookingWe have all done our best,Should we trust the timerOr use the smell test.

The lids have been liftedIts now time to eat,The main dishes are savoryAnd deserts are sweet.

Some want to knowWhen is Dutch Oven season,If I wake up breathingThats all I need for a reason.

Our home is in Eastern WashingtonWith a clear and sunny sky.

Where you can beAs wild and freeAs the birds when they all fly.

To the uninformed traveler

Passing through our landWhere the Sage Brush growAnd the tumbleweeds blow

All they see is heat and sand.

If you think Washington is mold & rainThere is something I need to tell you.

The east side is clearMost of the yearAnd the east side isnt Bellevue.

In spring we till and plant our fields

With expensive fuel and seed.Then sprinklers runUnder hot summer sunTheres a hungry world to feed.

Saddle up your trusty horse

And you can ride for hours.Ride and trainAfter spring time rain

And see all the wild flowers.

Ride your horse early in summerGo as soon as you awake.Dont make him run

In the blazing sunBut swim him in the lake

Grab some bait and fishing poleTake the kids to a nearby lake.

At evening lightThe fish will bite

And we always limit our take.

Bring your gun and a box of shellsAnd take the kids out shooting.

Theyll learn some skillsAnd have some thrillsWhile city kids are looting.

We till and plant our gardensWhen the soil warms.Veggies are bestWhen theyre freshWe can the rest before the winter storm

We love to see a summer stormOthers think theyre frightening.With a great big flashAnd thunder crash

We sit and watch the lightning.

Look out at the winter skyAnd see an approaching storm.

The North wind blowsThe drifting snowsAnd were inside nice and warm.

The kids all take off and go to college

Surrounded but feeling alone.In the city lifeWith all of its strifeThey long for their Eastern Washingtonhome.

My wife has cooked a great dinnerAnd we all sit down to eat.Thank god for the mealThat has lots of appealEvery day this is where we all meet.

So mister raise your children

Where they'll be free to roam.With your loving wifeMake a happy life

In your Eastern Washington home.
