Think it's time to step back from the 200 odd quart coolers total and see how low I can go for this trip to Indian and Saranac Lakes in the Adirondacks.
We'll be there for 11 days booked so far starting a day or two before Independence Day.
Since we need a boat to get on and off the campsite I need to think of a tight menu that requires less trips to the nonexistent local supermarket.
Here's what I've thunk up to date:
07/03 Day 1
Breakfast- n/a
Lunch- on the road
Dinner- homemade mufaletta sandwich and maybe a cuppa veggie soup
07/04 Day 2
Breakfast- fruit platter (store bought), nuts and yogurt
Lunch- hot dogs and veggie condiments
Dinner- smoked prime rib, fruit and veggie coleslaw, grilled veggies smashed potatoes
Dessert: bananas cooked in tin foil with berries and choc chips.
07/05 Day 3
Breakfast- fruit and yogurt
Lunch- P+J sammies and tomato basil soup
Dinner- Pizza with pick yer own toppings.
07/06 Day 4

7/13 Day 11
Breakfast- prolly leftovers in an omelet
