In this episode we go to Mills Norrie State Park, a charming campsite along the eastern bank of the Hudson River in New York. Our previous attempts at camping have been disasters. Liz is scared that she's going to be eaten by wild animals.

Along the way we stop at a farm stand and buy fingerling potatoes, onions, corn, green beans, mushrooms, raspberries, nectarines and pretty things called tomato berries. (They kinda look like berries but taste like tomatoes.) We also stop in a cute little town called Pine Plains to buy some olive oil.

At our campsite we make friends with an engineer from Maine named Richard, a Grateful Dead superfan who has seen them in concert over 100 times. Richard helps us build a campfire and looks after it while we check out the gorgeous sunset over the Hudson River.

We add olive oil and salt to our chopped veggies, wrap them in aluminum foil, and place them on the hot coals of the fire. The three of us enjoy a vegan campfire dinner under the moonlight. With the help of Captain Morgan, Liz sleeps through the night without incident. Success!
