Thanks, Gina and Bob. We'll certainly check up on your posts to refresh the memories. I like quilts; actually did one once out of wool plaid and antique glass buttons. It was a real bear keeping those corners straight. Yikes. A quilt museum would interest me...Jim can sleep in the car. We...

We're at it again. We'll be off to Maryland and my uncle's house along the Chesapeake this September, another coast-to-coast trek, but we sure as shootin' don't want to take the dreaded I80 again. Thanks to Jenn's advice, we're looking to a more southern route and places we have never seen such...

Well done, Steve. A great bog. I think you pretty much hit them all, but I am sure others will chime in with their special loves about Teardropping, such as: Lying in bed, looking through the little windows and counting the falling stars. Meeting all the lovely people and making new...

Went to the site. Wow, looks like a fantastic place. So sad we won't be in the area then, but happy for all of you. Sounds like you're in for a blast. Illinois has such lovely vistas...sunsets....lazy rivers and rolling green everywhere. So peaceful. Camp on, Sue

We use a cut-off water bottle. Yours is much better. Thanks for the tip! Sue and Jim

Did you see moose? Sue

We've seen TDs mirror bright and they are gorgeous. Lots of work, but oh baby! And if it's too much for you don't worry, time and use will take care of that. Just take a pic and post it to show us how it all comes out. And a word of advice... Painkillers. Camp on, Sue and Jim

Five of your group were thrown and you got stomped. Yikes. Wonder what spooked the horses...maybe that grizzly.... Glad you're not seriously injured, but dang that must smart. A little R&R with the family in Washington sounds like a great idea. Get all rested for the long haul home...

Barbed wire, dogs and armed guards - no...wait, that's prison. Jim says chain link, concertina wire on top and search lights. And that sounds like Stalag 13 (good movie). Oh! Oh! We've got it! A MOAT! With lots of alligators. Did they have alligators in Medieval Europe? Hhhhmmmmm...

Haven't had any trouble with our tank...but haven't had to refill it either, so all this is news to me. Good to know. Thanks for starting this thread. Forewarned and all. Sue

Well, welcome to the club! Yes, we are all more than slightly enthusiastic (looney) about our CIs and anything to do with camping. General cleaning and a hose-out and light bleach wash of the tank is about it. A soapy wash after each trip is all we do for the exterior and any build-up on the...

Afterthought: A Dutch oven is best for this recipe. I just happen to use a deep 10 inch fryer while camping. You can lug only so much CI in your CI. Camp in, Sue

Hhhhmmm.... electric fence and a campground.... I know some trailers are rare...expensive...just plain weird, whatever, but a fence - wired? Makes you wonder if he keeps an electric cattle prod under the bed. And what does he do during an electrical storm? Could be a problem. Think...

So true. We've seen the inside of a Little Guy - pretty much made up of the same stuff as an RV. Lots of plastic and pressed this and that. Smelly, too. That's one of the reasons we chose CI. Camp on Sue

I do this all the time in my CI Dutch oven at home...in the oven start at 400 degrees for 20 minutes then down to 325 for an hour. On top of the stove usually takes about an hour or less, but you need to make sure the bottom doesn't burn. Just check with a fork and see it the chicken is...

Break out your 10 inch fryer, this is for those cool evenings when you have a bit of extra time. You'll need: 1 small chicken in pieces 3 sliced carrots 2 sticks of celery - sliced 1 medium white onion 1 clove of garlic 1 cup crisp white wine flour for dusting chicken...

I'm not biased, of course not(not)! Hah Sue

We got second billing??? Good article showing well how our Camp Inn out-paces the others by a mile in quality, beauty and craftsmanship... ...but we should have been first, Miss Leah. Just saying. Thanks for sharing. Camp on Sue

Woo-Hoo! Just came back from an estate sale where I picked up 2 Griswold #8. Totally crusted, both of them. Now, where is that thread with the info on cleaning? What do you suggest, George? Sue

Jim and I were at Glacier NP just last July. It is one of the most magnificent places on earth. The Sun Road is a glorious trek - breathtaking in so many ways (including lack of oxygen if you climb to the glacier). You're having such a grand time. Thank you for taking us along and keep...
