The first part of our trip, we decided that we wanted to see some of Route 66 and camp at the Grand Canyon. This combined two of my favorite hobbies : Photographing old signs, and camping with my dog Chico. There are probably way too many photos in this post lol. The first night we…
We leave in 36 hours for another Epic Cross country camping and hiking trip! We’ve learned a lot since last year’s trip! And our other camping trips this year. First of all we will be renting a car. My car is up there on the mileage, and the car we are renting gets much better gas…
Uvas Canyon County Park is a great little place, and only about 1 hr 15 mins from Oakland. Far enough to get away, but close enough to do it on a whim! Dog friendly camping and hiking trails, mostly shady, and yes, the famous Waterfall Loop! “This lushly wooded park of 1,133 acres, is nestled…
Hello all! This is our review of the budget camping gear that we used on our Epic Road Trip in September…I know, so late! This is for car camping so we had a ton of leeway in what we chose. So what follows is the review of our Coleman Tent, Coleman Sleeping bag, and Coleman…
As I left the bottom of the hand, the southern most part of Michigan and headed north to the fingertips, it started to rain…again, but at least it was a quick drive, maybe four hours with stops. Luckily the rain cleared up by the time I arrived in Mackinaw City, and set up my tent at the…
Let’s see where did I leave off ? Oh yeah, I got stuck in a massive rainstorm in Nebraska, and had to stop, and I chickened out on putting up my tent in the rain, and got a Kamping Kabin. Day 4 -Lots of photos following my driving diatribe:) Originally I had planned on staying…
One of my friend’s drew this for me at work. I will hold it near and dear for the next couple of weeks! As luck would have it, the zipper on my Coleman Sundome 2 Tent, literally fell apart 3 days before I had to leave. I don’t think it was actually sewn on properly, It…
Our Coleman Sundome 2 person tent got here a couple days ago. I wanted to practice setting it up, and sleeping in it since I have to set it up in the dark the first night of our road trip, and Chico, my dog, has never been in a tent before. I actually watched a couple…
This is a last minute trip, and we’re doing it on a budget! 12-13 days to and from The Midwest/California. Our Coleman Green Valley Sleeping Bag arrived today, it is a 30 degree bag and has high reviews on Amazon. I chose it because I wanted a a cotton flannel lining, and I don’t think…
