It was getting late in the afternoon and we were above 10,000'. We needed to hit the trail to search for a suitable camp at a lower altitude.

We get on the trail and are admiring the aspen, when no sooner had we made a few turns, than...
...wait a minute, what's this?

Snow?
Luckily it was just a few patches. We hadn’t seen any before and we weren’t expecting precipitation, so we should be good.

Why is he holding his phone THERE?
You know how those greentexters are. They do everything just a little bit wrongly. We tried to document the epic places we went #2, where Fireman documented his epic number 2s. Big difference.

I was in the back going down the trail. It seemed we were going downhill, but I had no working navigation with me. I had no idea where we were going, I was just along for the ride.
At some point the wagon train came to a grinding halt. Something about a road closed or road blockage or something. Two groups split off in search of suitable campsites for our large group.
One group found something close by, though up a little higher, and the other group, aka, the the pants-optional group, kept going until they were out of radio range.

The bulk of us decided to take the close spot. We were so far apart that neither group wanted to make the trek to the other.
No biggie. We were headed that way in the morning - we'd grab them on the way out.

I had dinner duties tonight, so I quickly set up my sleeping quarters inside my truck and hauled my foodstuffs down to the mess hall.
I made some carnita meat in the crockpot prior to departure, and vacuum sealed meat to heat and crisp up onsite. Carnitas (pork butt) is a mexican pulled pork that later gets crisped up in its own rendered fat and flavorful juices and served on tortillas. #yummyAF
The time consuming part was slicing up the avacados, limes, and chopping the onion and cilantro. But its totally worth it.
We crisped the meat on the Skottle until it had the desired amount of crisp...
Then it was promptly tortilla'd and devoured...

Unless somebody brought dessert
Nobody brought dessert, but of course that didn't prevent the question of its possibility from being raised.

We were sitting around the warm fire, the temperature dropping quickly, when PMC posed the question of dessert. "What's for dessert?", he asked bluntly.
No one spoke up. I decided to take inventory to see if there was a possibility of whipping something up. We had a Michelin 5 Star Chef and a Highly Trained Professional Rocket Scientist amongst us, so if it could be done, we had the power to do it.
Our informal inventory review produced a few packs of Reese's Pieces and some flour tortillas. So basically, nothing.

Just then, almost as if it was beamed to us from the VLA, a celestial recipe is handed down from outside this galaxy.

What the actual fawk?

Then we start thinking about it. We can butter a tortilla until its saturated, then fill it with Reese's Pieces, then heat it until the Reese's melt and the quesadilla is toasty. This could work.

So we gave it a try.

Abducting an alien is much like taking on a new pet. You have an ethical obligation to feed them*. If it means we get dessert in the process, its a win-win.
