Christine and Tim Conners are the authors of
"Lipsmackin' Backpackin'" and "Lipsmackin' Vegetarian
Backpackin'," two of the most popular trail cooking
books of the past decade. Christine is a former Girl
Scout from her home state of Hawaii. Tim was a Cub Scout
during his youth in Ohio, and as an adult, served as Den
Leader and Assistant Cubmaster in Georgia's Coastal
Empire Council. At the invitation of the Boy Scouts of
America, the Conners recently served as judges for
"Scouting "magazine's prestigious national camp food
cooking contest, a watershed moment that ultimately led
to the creation of this book. Tim and Christine have
been testing outdoor foods practically nonstop for over
tenyears. They are grateful that their four children are
wonderfully accustomed to, and generally entertained by,
the enormous range of outdoor culinary eccentricities
that their parents have brought into the kitchen from
the backyard! The Conners family lives in Georgia, where
a Dutch oven can often be found warming over coals in
the fire pit. Visit www.booksbyconners.com to find out
