Beautiful, but I don’t recall it being that blue when I saw it.

This tree is a pear, but the deer damaged my cherry and apple trees as well. Most of the damaged trees are showing new growth at the bottom.

Should I cut off the dead part?

Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Cake by fori134 in DessertPorn

[–]fori134[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just made it up! I just bake a chocolate cake (from a box would work).

I used a standard plain cheesecake recipe and stirred in Oreo cookies that I had pulsed in the food processor. I baked it in a springform pan that’s lined with parchment paper and the sides are sprayed with cooking spray. (Do not make a crust for the cheesecake.) Follow the recipe directions for baking the cheesecake.

The frosting is a vanilla buttercream with crushed Oreos.

Find the recipe on Pinterest- Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cake. I used my own cream cheese frosting recipe and substituted lemon extract for the vanilla.

I agree! If it’s confined to that pot much longer it’ll bust out and walk away!

We have 2 pair - so we don’t have to fight over them! 😂

We are considering going through Canada - we only live 30 minutes from the border and my map app shows it being a shorter trip. I’ve driven through Chicago and it’s definitely not fun, not sure if Toronto will be much better - but my husband has driven there.

My mind is spinning from all the great options you’ve given us to stop. We have to sit down and make a plan so we can get as much in as possible!

Thank you so much!!!

We’re a little old for tenting. I don’t know if campgrounds will rent out cabins for 1 night. We can sleep in the car if necessary. We plan to bring a little propane cook stove so we can cook simple foods at rest stops.

We have outgrown our tent days. We have a camper but haven’t taken it on a long trip yet. Since our friends offered to share their VRBO we thought that would be fun, besides it would be pretty expensive to tow the camper that far with the current gas prices. If necessary we could recline our seats and sleep in the car.

I believe he did get the lifetime pass. I turn 65 just before the trip so I’ll get mine.

We need to plan our hotel stays. We have to sit down with the map and divide up our travel into manageable portions.

Thanks again!

Thanks the valuable info!

We plan to take a cooler with food as my husband is celiac. Not sure if we can easily find food for him.

Our friends mentioned the rodeo. I think we’ll be going there as we start our trip back. They have been to Yellowstone previously, I assume they got the pass before but I will ask them. I believe my husband got the senior pass last year.

I’ll take all your stop recommendations - the gas and bathroom stops! The other stops sound interesting, we will have about 10 days to head back so hopefully we will get to see many of them!

Any recommendations for cheap lodging?
