My popup is a luxurious alternative to the old days of camping in a tent on the ground. And, I feel like I have every gadget ever made to make life fun while traveling Then, I read an article this morning on CNN.com and found out there is more…so much more. On my budget, however,…
Usually I take “sponge” baths when camping. This is easy with a sink and stove to heat hot water in the popup. However, during my upcoming extended trip I will have to find a shower now and then (campgrounds or elsewhere) The problems with these showers: I need a bath mat and flip-flops since I…
I don’t like camping on major holidays. July 4th is especially chaotic because fireworks are legal. So, like most holidays, I am at home working some projects. Last night I finished the main sewing for the popup camper and the Woman Cave Project. This morning I remembered that I still have some pillow forms (some…
I was delighted to find that KOA compiled a list of useful camping apps. I have not used any yet but will try them while on my trip. The KOA list: 1. Study Stars: GoSkyWatch Planetarium Easily and quickly identify and locate stars, planets, constellations, galaxies and more by simply pointing to the sky. It’s…
My departure date is approaching- July 14–but work is so busy (Vacation Bible School, etc) I barely have time to write about my preparations and plans. This past week I hosted 4 wonderful young adult VBS counselors at my house. Now that they are gone, its time to tie up all the work loose ends…

I arrived in Denver midday and set up Half Moon in a little RV park. This is a new experience for me since I always camp in the great outdoors with lots of elbow room and privacy. The park is on an urban thoroughfare, not far from I 70. Right next door is a large…
Tomorrow I leave for a 3-day trip to Denver. I have some work-related appointments Thursday, and my son is moving to a new apartment on Friday (emptied out the van so I can help him). On Saturday, he graduates from fire academy. I am looking forward to spending time with him and his lovely lady,…
T-minus 21 days and counting! I leave then on my 6-week sabbatical, during which I will travel in my popup camper, Half Moon. So, time to finish up my redecorating project, which I fondly call the Woman Cave Project. A few days ago I completed the new valances. These valances are over 10 feet long…
I left Sunday evening with the popup camper, headed for Glendo State Park, about 30 miles north. The highlight was testing out my inflatable boat. It worked good but I need to inflate it more. Tango’s doggie life vest was too big and went back to Amazon. So, this time he had to run along…
