Things I Won’t Be Packing for Camping Trip

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,…

DIY Camp Shower Bag

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…

4th of July DIY Pillow Binge

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…

Camping Apps

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.

Camping in Denver

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…

Denver Mini-Adventure

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,…

Lazy Days Cool Nights in the Popup Camper

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…
