Recipe: Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Serves: 8 to 10 This is one of our all time favorite Dutch Oven desserts. The exciting finish comes at the last moment when the cake is inverted to reveal the impressive topping. TOPPING 4 Tbs. Butter 1 Cup Brown Sugar 1 Can pineapple rings 8 cherries (optional) ½ Cup Chopped Nuts (optional) Whipping Cream (optional) CAKE BATTER 1 Yellow Cake Mix 1 Cup pineapple juice 3 eggs 1/3 cup water 1/3 Cup oil STEP ONE: Prepare Cake Topping: On your stove melt butter in the bottom of a 12" Dutch Oven. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter. As soon as the brown sugar is dissolved place the pineapple rings in a single layer on top of the brown sugar. Make a nice ring around the outside of the Dutch Oven and then place the remainder in the center. (For added flare you can place a cherry in the center of each ring or some chopped nuts on top of the pineapple.) STEP TWO Prepare Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, pineapple juice, water, eggs and oil. Mix well. Spoon cake...

Government Shutdown and Sheri Griffith River Expeditions:

We have had a lot of people asking about our trips and if we can still run them. Sheri Griffith River Expeditions has only slightly been affected by the Government Shutdown as of right now. There are still plenty of great things to do in Moab, other than Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. Check out www.discovermoab.com or www.visitutah.com for a list of alternate activities to do in the area. We would like to thank Utah’s Governor Herbert and Secretary of the Interior Jewell, for their work opening up the National Parks in Utah. You can read Co-Owner Arlo’s comments about the shutdown in the Salt Lake Tribune here. We doubt the shutdown will last to next year. SO…..We are still booking lots of trips for 2014!

A Winter Westwater Tale

Winter Westwater During the last weekend of January, Sheri Griffith Expeditions owner Jose Tejada and his son Obe took a trip through Westwater Canyon. Our Operations Manager, Brenda Milligan also took some time to go rafting in Westwater Canyon that weekend.We asked Obe to give us his thoughts on the weekend: We arrived at the Westwater ranger station around 10:30 in the morning. It was raining. In fact, it had been raining all night and most of the day before. There was no trace of the sunny, high 50 degree weather that was present when my dad and I hatched this plan. “You can’t boat every month if you don’t start in January”, my father had said. He hadn’t been on the water yet this year. Sure I had been on a San Juan River trip two weeks earlier but this was Westwater. Here the waves would be unavoidable. To be cast out of my brother’s 14 foot NRS boat was a real possibility. It is easy to stay dry on the San Juan River, but this was not the “J...
