Wayne,

Wasn't that stuff called "Hobo stew" or something like that? From my

son's Scout days I recall taking some hamburger, cut up potatoes, cut up

carrots and (for the daring) some onion, wrapping it up in several layers

of foil and putting it by the hot coals. By the time dinner came around,

many people were so hungry that they ate theirs a little bit underdone.
