Fresh Huckleberries

On Saturday Susan drove us to the top of one of the nearby mountains so we could pick a few Huckleberries. We knew there was a chance of rain in the area, but we didn't really care if we got wet, so we went without taking any rain gear. Well, it did rain and while the water didn't bother us, it was colder than we expected. As a result, our hands got too cold and we kept dropping the berries before we could get them into the can.
The place Susan drove to is a really good place to go picking. Not only are there a lot of bushes, but you can pick the berries right next to where you park the car - no hiking required. So far, we have enjoyed Cheerios with Huckleberries - so good - and we are deciding what to make with the remaining berries. As Rachel Ray would say, "YUMMO!"

We don't have these berries in NZ, they look like blueberries kind of. I saw the delicious muffins you made from them.
