In reply to Kelly Hicks Whitehurst. Maybe you should read on a full stomach. Maryland isn't far away but it makes for a long haul just to get the good stuff...

My eyes are getting tired, but I will be back to check out the rest of the meals on your blog girl. The hours you spend on the food channels is apparent in your presentation of the dishes you prepare, by the way! They are all prepared in a way that is very pleasing to the eye, and professional looking!

You guys were waaay too kind to the arachnid, for starters. And I have to complain, because it is 9:44 p.m. and now my stomach is growling! This has to be my all-time favorite meal up above! relatively easy to prepare, and far too easy to eat!! I was wondering about the seafood situation up there too. Living on the Atlantic coast my whole life has caused me to take excellent, fresh seafood for granted. Some 20 years ago, I lived in the mountains of South Carolina for a short time (before I got homesick and went back to the beach). I always lived in rural Virginia Beach, On Salem Rd, and then in Pungo once Salem Rd became developed. So, my experiences with life at the beach are not quite the same as yours. My dogs are not used to having neighbors, lol. I am simply tired of the humidity at sea level, and all of the bugs that come along with living east of the Great Dismal Swamp. When I tried mountain living for the first time, some 50 miles from Maggie Valley, it was very, very hard to find quality seafood. At least the quality that I was accustomed to. If there is one thing I DO KNOW, it is good seafood. It has been my experience that the further you get away from the ocean, you can expect incremental drops in the quality of the seafood. I’ve read that early coastal Virginia settlers used to ship Lynnhaven River oysters back to the king of England 300 years ago, but for some reason, you couldn’t find fresh shrimp 300 miles away at a higher altitude. The meal above is scandalous. I’m on my way to root around in my fridge 🙁

In reply to Patrons of the Pit. Lol! No we never get tired of it. Each time we pull into the driveway it still takes our breath away.

Love it! Save for your spider that is. That sucked. And I know I say it too much, but do you ever get tired of the view off your deck. Dang people. Paradise!

In reply to debbeedoodles. Thanks a lot! We grill quite a bit. But I've restricted myself to posting about campfire cooking only. I did some pretty good hobo dinners while camping two nights ago. I'm going to make them again next week while camping and will probably do a post or video on them then..

In reply to Duncan. Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your blog story about the Greenbrier River. I believe someone else told us to check that one out as well. Looks like y'all had an excellent time. The grilled home-made pizzas sound really wonderful. I love inspiring people to cook. I Hope both the pizza and the shrimp inspire a blog posting as well.

Great post! My wife and I enjoy paddling the Shenandoah as well. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Greenbrier River in Southern West Virginia, it’s another fantastic paddle.

Here’s one of my posts about it if you’re interested – http://smoothingit.com/2013/07/03/canoeing-the-greenbrier-river-day-2/

The seafood feast looks amazing. We’re grilling home-made pizzas tonight but your post has inspired me to go out and get some shrimp for the weekend!
