There used to be this cheese stuffe in a tube called Squeeze-a-Snack. There was a little round hole in the side of the tube to squeeze it out of. We used to take it with us when we went backpacking because it didn't require refrigeration. We'd stop along the trails in a quiet meadow or under veil of the woods and get out our little lunch of crackers, squeeze cheese, sardines and vienna sausages and have a wee feast. I LOVED IT. Of course, I couldn't put a vienna sausage or a sardine in my mouth now, and that processed cheese stuff makes me ill...but I still remember how much I loved it then.

Dang! Now I'm hungry! I'm not sure what my favorite was as a kid, but mom tells a story about me going to girl scout meetings with oreo cookies, taking them apart and eating the middle out, then sticking them back together and giving them to the other kids, who ate them anyway !

Did you ever do the Emigrant Basin Wilderness Area Hike?
(Dodge Ridge to Yosemite Valley)

I did that one in '89 with a friend. Normally I hate walking, but this place...this pristine place...was well worth the effort.

I can't remember what they're called, buy I used to love these crackers. They would have like 3 crackers in a package, and part of the package held some cheese flavored substance (I realize now it can't possibly have been real cheese). You would apply the cheese with a supplied red plastic stick. I also remember eating them when I was a bit older, and they were nasty!

It is kind of like marshmellow/cream with chocolate covered , just a better taste

Custard creams

Roast Dinner
x 2 (I was a strange child)
but my all time favourite has to be fried egg and peanut butter sandwiches. The egg has to have a runny yolk and the peanut butter has to be crunchy.
x 3
I don't have them anymore because they're really bad for me but the taste is out of this world.... mmmmmmmmmmmm

I may well have when I was growing up. We spent a lot of time walking and hiking in the Yosemite Valley and beyond. We camped many summers in Tuolomne Meadows and Lee Vining and Mammoth Lakes areas. Because my father owned his own business we would have the entire summer to go where we wanted. We'd camp all up and down the Sierras and Northern California (coastal and inland), all over Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Montana, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming and even Europe. Nowadays we stick to places near hospitals because of my daughter's medical needs. We also have to have a large bathroom for her (she's in there an hour a night, at least).

We started camping in a place we'd been to when i was a kid, a place my mom loved as a kid, and we've been going back for several years. We do Richardson Grove State Park on Hwy 101 and Plumas Eureka State Park between Quincy and Reno. They have great handicap facilities, so we go back again and again!

I was a snack-a-holic as a kid. The chubby one.
It will be hard to narrow it down to three.

Chocolate! (Still is). My mom used to buy it in a big slab wrapped in plastic wrap. She would hide it in one of the top cupboards. . . but I always knew where to look!
I also used to buy big Hershey bars and eat them by myself!

Devil Dogs

Funny Bones

We've done a lot of the State Parks in Calif. A Favorite is Big Basin Redwoods up in the Bay Area. (And to stay on thread...favorite snack is trail mix when camping.
) Emigrant Basin is straight north from Yosemite. You can walk or go by horseback. No motor vehicles of any type allowed. I think I want to do that hike once more before I hit the rocking chair.
