All those ideas are fantastic and - let's face it - any camping gal would appreciate those handy little gadgets that make chores so much easier along that long and winding road. But diamonds are a girl's best friends. Or rubies...pearls (South Seas, please)...emeralds - ooo, yeah! A...

Jim is standing behind me right now and promised to "come up with something later" concerning me dimeing him out....and right now he's considering a good use for duct tape. Uh-oh Sue

Oh, heck I can' figure out how to post a pic. Did it once many moons ago via photo bucket - had my computer genius son, James, leaning over my shoulder the whole time and I still muffed up. James thought it was hysterical. Camp (and cook) On Sue

Just used my CICO bees wax on a dutch oven. Smoked up the house like nobody's business, but the DO is deep black. I'll be trying it out real soon. And yes, it's a Lodge. Old as all get out with a smooth as glass surface. They're awfully good CIs. Sue

Yep, varmints of all sorts out in the wild woolly. Open toed Crocs or flip-flops are fine if you want to leave them outside and aren't worried about four legged thieves (I sometimes leave my Crocs on top of the fender), but anything that could make a snugly home for scorpions, spiders, mice and...

Rats. But it still looks great. Sue

Time to dime of Jim - again. Up In Maryland at a lovely state park (forgot the name). They were clearing up a huge crowd from a charity run and had no room for in line registration, so off we were sent to the near-by parking lot. Entrance to the lot involved a serious hair-pin turn and... No...

Cross trails? Absolutely. With that nose art, no way any of us could miss your rig. We'll have to arrange a meet-up and party down. AND NOW YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR COMING TO THE NEXT CICO, WILL YOU FRANK? See ya on the road and... Camp On Sue

Huh. Cool. And it keeps the creepy-crawlies out. We use all weather fabric shoe boxes inside on the open shelf. Works well, but no matter how careful we are, some amount of debris sneaks in - especially sand. Hate sand on the bed cover. Your idea looks much better and we do have the taller...

We picked up an Ozark utility tent at Walmart. Easy up and very handy for showers, dressing or a porta-potty. One problem, when back lit your silhouette shows the world what you're up to. We use a tarp to create an outside privacy area around the tent. A bit of extra work, but worth it. Came...

An update on an old story about my absence from the forum... That documentary, "Eleven", about WWII Air Group 11 that flew off the USS Hornet, well if you are in the Seattle area come January 9, 2016 from 2pm to 4pm, there will be a screening of the film along with a meet and greet with the...

Ah-ha! Caught the Camp Inn bug, have you? Sorry, no vaccine and the only cure is a lifetime living it up in a CI. I'm sure you'll find your baby either shiny new or a well-loved foundling. But stay on the forum and goof off with us 'cause whether you're a birth or adoptive parent, this will be...

Set up the canopy when we're on the fly? Nope. One night stays are usually us on the run to a specific destination and time ticks on while you're putting things up and down. Rain really doesn't factor into it. A few years back we were in Estes Park and it was pouring. Poor Jim donned his...

Two years ago Sue and I camped at Furnace Creek CG adjacent to the Visitors Center. We were able to get a site with shade under a band of trees that snaked through the campground. Showers are available for a fee(day Pass)at the pool at the Furnace Creek Resort. They also have a great restaurant...

Hey there, Kathryn and Chris! We LOVE the red rock canyon lands! How lucky for you two to ranger there. You are going to find your little TD will fit in the most unusual, twisty little spaces. Maybe we'll meet. We're always going back to the canyon lands. Camp on, Sue and Jim

We used Allstays.com on our 8000+,34day long haul trip this Sept. Got nice camp sites every night.....except for the one where I missed the notification the the CG was closed for the '15 season for renovation. But we did find a nice alternate CG. Jim

Oh, the hours and hours of discussion on this subject. We use the Trimax and something to lock the hitch bit (yes, I'm that technical-jargon challenged. So much so, you wouldn't believe.) It works just fine so far and we've been cross country multiple times. As the saying goes, if someone...

An on-the-road recipe or at home? Huge difference. For on the road, Gina's looks real good. Might try it myself, soon. Of course, you can do what I like, make it, freeze it and heat up two days down the road and just add the fresh seafood then. Hhhhmmmmm.....Jambalaya and a distant sunset...

I'm with Jenn - it was a blast! I thoroughly enjoyed watching Tina whip the boys into shape as the tent went up (I sat in a cool place and played professional observer). Nice job, girl friend. The idea of strapping the picnic tables to trucks and dragging them in place was great fun, whoever...

We live in Castro Valley,but are currently in Washington DC traveling with our 550. Won't be back till early Oct. If you can wait that long. Jim and Sue
