Chanterelles...

Well, today I went out with my good buddy and co-worker Mr. Chris Burdge to go mushroom picking for the second time.  The first time I got just over half a 5 Gallon bucket.  Today I picked more than two buckets worth!

Just another thing I probably wouldn't have done if it wasn't available to me so easily.

Chris has a sixth sense for locating these little beauties.  We hit a pretty good patch today and it seemed like every time you looked up there were more just a little ways away.  I can see how people can get so excited about this kind of stuff.  Out in the fresh air, getting exercise, looking for treasure, riding quads and making a little extra moola (hoping one comes home with the moola to justify leaving wifey at home with the boys)!

I have forgotten on both days to save a few so we could cook them up at home.  Maybe I'll have to buy some off Chris tomorrow.
