Dutch Oven Gathering
National Dutch Oven Gathering 2024
We arrived back home from the National Dutch Oven Gathering 2024 in Indiana. It was a fun filled week of cooking in our Dutch Ovens and trying new recipes to surprise our friends. We have made many new friends since our 1st NDOG in 2013 at DeGray Lake, Arkansas. The folks are laid back and easy going which keeps us looking forward to the next one.
What is also fun about the National Dutch Oven Gatherings are the areas where they are held. They are in areas rich in history and beautiful scenery adding to the joy of attending. The National Dutch Oven Gathering for 2024 was in Mitchell, Lawerence County, Indiana, famous for its limestone and astronauts. Check it out, you will be surprised.
We will keep this letter short and let you hop over to the photo album where you will be visually excited. We had 17 State Flags flying from 26 States.
Happy Cooking,

Spring is here or is it?
It’s funny how life takes you on a journey that keeps you very busy, Work, Chores, Kids, and Family. Before you know it months have passed and you did not take care of some of your favorite things: “Southeast Camper” “Dutch Oven Cooking” “Camping” just to mention a few.
We started 2020 off real nice at Andrew Jackson State Park with The Cabin Fever Dutch Oven Gathering. We had nice weather with cooler temperatures, but overall, it was a GREAT day with Friends and Fellow Dutch Oven Enthusiast.
The Southeast Camper Dutch Oven Group was going to have a Dutch Oven Cooking Demonstration at the Lodge Factory Outlet Store in Concord, NC, but that has been canceled.
Then we started looking forward to our next adventure at The 2 State Dutch Oven Gathering by joining with The Capital City Dutch Oven Group (Raleigh, NC) and The Old Dominion Iron Chefs (Richmond, VA) at Jordan Lake for our annual trek on the last weekend in March.
Now with COVID-19 looming all around, all State Parks have been closed and we are now in a holding pattern and the way things are looking the Southeast Camper Spring DOG at Kings Mountain State Park is not looking good.
We will need to plan for the future, even though we do not know what the future holds for us, be safe and take care of yourself and your family. We will update you on any changes.
