Camping anyone?

cinnamongrrl · 01-16-2013, 08:56 AM

I agree...I want to camp as much as possible in the summer, since our schedules will be crazy come fall...

I REALLY want to plan a New England camp meet at Provincetown. Teddy knows of a really good campground there. Only problem is we are off during the week....but we will let people know when we are going, and if y'all can meet us there great!

Teddy is a MEAN campfire cooker

We even made boiled peanuts over the open fire! lol And scampi...yeah..starvation doesn't really suit us...but we sure have fun

I am definitely in the mood to camp. My friends already have our yearly sites reserved at the Boundary Waters but I'm hoping to do a lot more camping a little closer to home. MN has some good sites that aren't too far, and therefore not much time is wasted driving too far. :-)

I just need to repace some of my gear and I am ready to go!

First camping trip of the year this past weekend. We went to Morrow Mt State Park. I think this was the best camping trip I've had in probably 20 yrs. Mid
40's at night and low 70's during the day. No wind, no rain beautiful weekend and I had a great time. The deer were all around the campsite and almost in it at times. No babies as yet, be a few more weeks before they drop.

Campfire cooking at it's finest, I must say LighteningBug was pretty good at campfire cooking as well. This time was campfire saute mushrooms, campfire spiced taters, chicken wings, cucumbers we didn't cook them on the campfire, and this was only Saturday night. YUMMMM

Had good camping neighbors and basically the campground was quiet. I need to find a place to camp on the water that is close by. I know of places in the Smokies but that is a 3-4 hr drive, there has to be someplace close to home.

My camping buddy and I keep saying we need to start a camping blog on all the stuff that happens to us when we go camping. We do have a time of it sometimes. I hope to do a lot more camping this year than I've been able to do in the past year or two. Also hoping to get tires for my camper so if they are calling for rain it won't matter.

Uggggh this was a bad camping spring for us. It would rain or get real cold only on the weekends, then it was June and 90. Got one camping trip in, it wasn't bad.

But!!!!!! Just got an old beat up long bed truck that I put a camper on and am building a platform bed in, so I'm making a red-neck RV. It'll be all ready to camp in this fall! Going camping in N'awlins the first weekend of November, that'll be the first unplugged trip and the first urban camping.

I haven't even made it camping this year. It's either been hot as hades or flooding. There doesn't seem to be much in between over here.

We haven't camped yet either but hope to get out in the next few weeks.

Got a really nice tent and screen house last year and have been picking up supplies at yard sales and on clearance for the last several years.

And I freaking HEART my orange melamine dishes!

It's my goal to learn to camp on my own this summer. So far, I've camped twice for one night on friends properties, and I have three other entire weekends planned between now and the Reunion. Whee!
