Cool backpacking trip
So I can now offically cross "Eat at House of Beef" off my "list of things to do before I die".
Yes, that's right. After 8 years of coming back from backpacking/camping trips and wanting to eat at House of Beef (in Oakdale) only to find it closed every damn time, it was finally open, and I finally ate there.
It was good. I had their tri-tip lunch platter. The fries were good, the beef was excellent, and the BBQ sauce was also excellent. I would like to go back sometime during dinner hours so I can have something like their prime rib.
Next stop: House of Tykes (which is right next door to House of Beef. Really). mmmmm.... tykes....
Also, the backpacking trip was awesome. Kudos to Mike for picking out an awesome trail. We'll have to go back though, cause we weren't successful in our ascent of Mt. Ritter. For a variety of complicated factors. Check out the pictures Mike put up:

I recommend clicking on a thumbnail, and then clicking "original" underneath the picture. You get the larger version of the picture that looks best. Pics 60 and 79 are my favorite. Soooo badass.
