Hilltop Lake Blueberries

Fishing is just one of the attractions of our Hilltop Lake camp.  Of course it is the big attraction since it is nothing short of fantastic.  But when the arms get tired or the desire of doing something else overtakes you there are other things to do. 

Wild life viewing, exploring and, in season, blueberry picking are wonderful options.  

There is no limit on blueberries and a gallon can be picked in short order within sight of the cabin.  Blue berries have a boat load of antioxidants and wild blue berries can not be beat for taste.  Blueberry pancakes, blueberries on cereal, blueberries in yogurt or have an Iron Chef blueberry challenge - we did last week and the result was amazing.

Dave and I have been having adventures since we needed a step-stool to pick blueberries. If Dave got as many in his jar as he tried to get in his mouth, he would have had the gallon picked in half the time.
