Competitors in
Mesquite Dutch Oven
Cook-off
Mesquite, Nevada
Saturday December 11th, 2010
10am - 3pm
Come to Mesquite to do your last min-
ute shopping. This will be another great
craft show. TOPOGEAR attended the
November 27th event and it was great for
the vendors and shoppers as well. We
really had fun. We saw some very unique
gifts at that show. So don’t miss the De-
cember 11th event. This is a great family
event.
Contact Carrie to secure you vendor
space. We are sorry we have to miss this
one. See page 13.
Mesquite, Nevada
January 7th & 8th, 2011
The inaugural Mesquite Open Dutch
Oven Cook-off highlights activity at the
CasaBlanca Resort Hotel
Jan. 7-8 with
an impressive $5,000 purse and the
expectation of 30 teams competing
behind the presentation of the same
man who spearheads the annual
Smokin’ in Mesquite BBQ Champion-
ship each Labor Day Weekend.
We would like to hear from readers if you
might be interested in a group event sail in
the coming year? Please provide us some
feedback at sales@topogear.com Type of
trip, length, destination etc. We may organ-
ize an event if there is enough interest out
there.
We sailed with Royal Caribbean in that past
aboard the “Mariner of The Sea� We re-
ceived top rated service and expect nothing
less on this upcoming cruise.
The Mesquite Open Dutch Oven event
is expected to turn the grounds of the
CasaBlanca into a culinary delight.
“We will start with all of the teams
cooking Jan. 7,� explained Arlie Bragg,
whose Smokin’ in Mesquite BBQ com-
petition on Labor Day weekend draws
teams from all over the country each
year. “On the final day, half of those
teams will advance to the final round.�
If you have never cruised, expect to be pam-
pered with the finest food and accommoda-
tions. We suggest balcony rooms over inner
rooms. Believe us, the extra fee is well
worth the cost. We enjoyed the views while
in port and under way. Those of course
wanted to save some money can opt for the
inner rooms. The deck is always open and
most people only spend their time in the
room sleeping.

Bragg, a 12-year veteran of cooking
competition events, said the response to
the event has been strong in a very
short period of time with emails being
received from several states including
Idaho , Utah , New Mexico , Nevada
Our last cruise was out of Long Beach, Cali-
fornia. This one will be out off Fort
Lauderdale. (Continue on page 2)

and Arizona along with several calls from
California . Competition will be staged in the
Our itinerary is to sail from Fort Lauderdale
to the Bahamas, St Thomas, St Maarten,
then back to Fort Lauderdale. We are ex-
pecting temperatures in the upper 70s. Man
will that be hard to take :-)
“This is absolutely competitive,� said the soft
-spoken Bragg explaining that the contestants
cook with charcoal. “They will cook gourmet
like crown roasts and salmon. The cooks use
tables that are 18 inches off the ground, and
they have very strict rules. They will be
judged ingredients. There is going to be an
incredible amount of culinary work going
into this event.�
We are excited to see this new ship. A revo-
lutionary design. Loft suites with 2 story
views. A Carousel, adults only Solarium, a
youth zone. A Pool Zone with Cantilevered
whirlpools, FlowRiders and a heart racing
Zip-Line view of the ship and sea below.
Stroll through Central Park, a garden area
and public area lined with foliage and res-
taurants. There is also the AquaTheater and
Amphitheater.
Three pots with different items including
breads, a main course and dessert will be
cooked in the Dutch ovens.
With 16 huge decks, 2700 staterooms and
28 loft suits, the Allure can ship out with
over 6000 passengers.
The first Mesquite Open Dutch Oven Cook-
off event is expected to lead to the richest
event of its kind at the CasaBlanca in 2011.
“It’s another exciting new event for the Casa-
Blanca ,� said Christian Adderson, sporting
events manager. “We anticipate a great turn-
out for our first event and expect that the
Dutch oven competition will grow over the
next couple of years to become the richest of
its kind in the world.�
The Allure is 1187 feet long, 208 feet wide
and 213 high from the water line. The
6000+ guest capacity is served by a crew of
2394 (from over 71 countries)
The Allure meets the Oasis. (Below)
The Allure was built in Finland and had her
Maiden Voyage December 5th, 2010. The
ship is the largest Cruise ship in the world.
Adderson said the staff of the CasaBlanca
met with Bragg after the 2010 Smokin’ in
Mesquite BBQ event.

in Dutch Oven competition especially in
Utah and other surrounding states.�

Trip Report: Colorado River Canoe Trip 11/6/2010 (Las Vegas Canoe Club)
Departing Willow Beach on the Colorado River.
The
Las Vegas Canoe Club
l
eft on a 2 day, 14 mile downriver trip. There were six
of us. We where picked up by Helen who owns
Desert River Outfitters
.
A 30 minute
shuttle ride that took us across the recently opened bridge at Hoover Dam. What a
time saver that was. We had a late start, so that made up lots of time.
We unloaded the canoes and stowed our gear, food and firewood. There was
only a breath of air so we launched in nearly flat calm water. This section of river has
little current. Willow Beach is actually about 11 river miles south of Hoover Dam.
Launching at Willow Beach, we were heading south to Nelson’s Landing, 14 river
miles south.
The Landing and river edge community
long since washed away in a
devastating flash flood that came surging down the normally dry wash in 1974.
We made about 4 miles of the 14 total and some in the group wanted to stop and
make camp. That was to be a ill fated decision.
We set up camp and enjoyed what was left of the afternoon, and evening. The
temperature was pleasant. We shared the campfire, food and stories. Recanted sights
we had seen coming downriver. On the water the terrain is seen more in detail and
up-close. Birds, fish, critters on the bank and the occasional Petroglyph if one takes
the time to find them. To some people, passing the area in a car, one might think the
area stark and lifeless.
The next morning we were on the water at 9:30am with Helen scheduled to pick
us up 10 more miles down river. We immediately had head winds of around
25MPH. These winds were not predicted. The next 10 miles were physically ex-
hausting. Our last canoe full of members pulling in around 5pm in the dark.
Oh No! Mr Bill the Fire Marshall…. Hates Campfires!
One of hundreds of Petroglyphs found in Black Canyon.

Send us your recipe and photo of your prepared item to
appear on this page. See rules off our Home page at
Saute mushrooms in butter for about 5 to 10 minutes
Add Flour to make a roux
Add milk, salt and pepper to taste
Add cheese and stir until completely melted. Add more milk if the sauce is too
thick
Pour about half a cup of the sauce in a small zip lock bag. Cut one corner of the
bag and drizzle the sauce over the Chicken Cordon Bleu
Garnish with fluted mushrooms and shredded Gouda Cheese
Dutch Oven Heat “Three Up-Three Down Rule
It is better to place more coals or briquettes on the lid of
the Dutch oven. Many Dutch oven cooks follow a simple
three up, three down rule
. Measure the diameter of your
Dutch oven and add 3 to estimate how many briquettes to
place on the lid. Take 3 away from the diameter measure-
ment and this is the number you need to place under the
Dutch oven.
If you have a 12 inch Dutch oven. 12 + 3 = 15. Place 15
briquettes on the lid of your oven.

Three weeks before Christmas
And we’re bored in a fog.
Then Bill pipes up,
Lets have a DOG.
Now its Saturday
And all thru the yard,
The cooks were scurrying
And working so hard.
Fireboxes and tables
Were setup with care,
The ground is all white
And there’s snow in the air.
The cooks were all careful
To fill their Dutch Oven,
Now make room pals
There’ll be no shovin’.
Tanya said hey Rob
The Kingsford is glowing,
So we put up a big tarp
Because it’s still snowing.
We added more coals
It was clear to me,
We needed more heat
Because it’s minus 4 degrees.
The food has been cooking
We have all done our best,
Should we trust the timer
Or use the smell test.
The lids have been lifted
Its now time to eat,
The main dishes are savory
And deserts are sweet.
Some want to know
When is Dutch Oven season,
If I wake up breathing
That’s all I need for a reason.
Our Home
Our home is in Eastern Washington
With a clear and sunny sky.
Where you can be
As wild and free
As the birds when they all fly.
Bring your gun and a box of shells
And take the kids out shooting.
They’ll learn some skills
And have some thrills
While city kids are looting.
To the uninformed traveler
Passing through our land
Where the Sage Brush grow
And the tumbleweeds blow
All they see is heat and sand.
We till and plant our gardens
When the soil warms.
Veggies are best
When they’re fresh
We can the rest before the winter storms.
If you think Washington is mold & rain
There is something I need to tell you.
The east side is clear
Most of the year
And the east side isn’t Bellevue.
We love to see a summer storm
Others think they’re frightening.
With a great big flash
And thunder crash
We sit and watch the lightning.
In spring we till and plant our fields
With expensive fuel and seed.
Then sprinklers run
Under hot summer sun
There’s a hungry world to feed.
Look out at the winter sky
And see an approaching storm.
The North wind blows
The drifting snows
And we’re inside nice and warm.
Saddle up your trusty horse
And you can ride for hours.
Ride and train
After spring time rain
And see all the wild flowers.
The kids all take off and go to college
Surrounded but feeling alone.
In the city life
With all of its strife
They long for their Eastern Washington
home.
Ride your horse early in summer
Go as soon as you awake.
Don’t make him run
In the blazing sun
But swim him in the lake
My wife has cooked a great dinner
And we all sit down to eat.
Thank god for the meal
That has lots of appeal
Every day this is where we all meet.
Grab some bait and fishing pole
Take the kids to a nearby lake.
At evening light
The fish will bite
And we always limit our take.
So mister raise your children
Where they'll be free to roam.
With your loving wife
Make a happy life
In your Eastern Washington home.
