I prefer goose, myself, it's a little greasy but that grease is what soaks in the smoke flavor.
Gettin tired of what's for dinner?

A hot smoke on a goose until it is nearly jerky dry, slurp. Like candy!
You haven't lived?

Not yet!! I may try to remedy that soon though, given your succulent description!

Oh you zany kids!!!
I'm trying to figure out whether Finch Lake or Bluebird Lake is a more worthy destination.
But the other suggestions (particularly goose) are fantastic, too!

Bluebird Lake hands down. The hike itself is way prettier, and the destination lake is tops. Also, you can always extend an go to Junco or Pipit and beyond....

Take it from someone who's done Wild Basin..... Bluebird. Too bad you didn't go when Kristin was there. She would have taken you places.
