Yankee Springs Recreational Area Trip Report

I found the entire area to be just beautiful, and we were lucky enough to get a campsite right on the water by the boat dock, near huge trees alive with the sound of birds. We saw a Mallard Duck on the canal. We immediately put out bird feeders and oranges, and though it didn’t […]

Growing Up Camping

I grew up in a family of 9 kids. We didn’t have a lot of money but we had a tent (and later a popup) and we went camping a LOT every summer. I think that’s where I got my love for it. Every year we went on our “big trip” somewhere different like I […]

Saginaw Valley Rail Trail Report

The first thing that occurred to me after hiking the 6-mile rail trail is that it is really not my preference to walk six miles in a straight line on asphalt. I much prefer the “loop-de-loops in de-woods”. That said, Andy, Gypsy and I did enjoy our walk. It took about three hours. Remembering that […]

Camping Report: Shipshewana, Indiana

Returned from 4 days of camping in Indiana with the Amish (who loved my little dog barking at their big horses). Notes: When you take you PU into the dealer for warranty repairs, check them before you put the camper away for the winter. We STILL have the same trouble that we had last season […]

Camper Mod

I have a pop-up and when we went to the dealer where we bought it, they told us that we couldn’t hang things from the ceilings, like those cute baskets and those wire shelves. Do I have to do anything special to be able to hang stuff from the ceiling? I have seen those special […]

Window Treatments for RVs?

I’m needing to redo the window treatments on our “vintage” (read..old!) MH and wondered if any of you have ideas, suggestions, etc. I’m just finishing the recovering of the cushions…they were in great shape…the colors were not to my liking…orange and brown tweed…VERY 70’s! LOL I want something that is easily drawn up/away as I’m […]

Ready for Spring

After the great weather this weekend, and yesterdays’ rain, I am so ready for spring! Hubby didn’t want to pop open that camper over the weekend, so we went shopping for things that we had talked about before. We found, on clearance a ceramic heater, with about 3 times the power of the one that […]

Camping with Animals

Mike said last night Chevy that we could camp when we go to west Virginia. But I told him again that would be at the state parks and what would we do with Shadow (my kitty) we couldn’t just leave her there all day by herself in a cage (remember, we tent camp). He said, […]
