My idea of camping is any five-star hotel.

Excellent pictures and a wonderful camping story. It is always my job to make coffee when the electric is out. We have a double boiler and a boiler-percolator at camp. I prefer the percolator - fewer grounds in the coffee. I am so bad about dishes at camp - I usually rinse them, bag them and take the ones I use home to dishwash, hahaha. We used to call that a part of the Lobby Hog duty, along with mopping the floor and so on. There was always a lot of hogging and not a lot of lobbying. Good thing we didn't play tippy cup...

Tippy cup is fun.... but you have to do it outdoors on a camp table, 'cuz more beer gets spilled than drank... My sister-in-law used to take her dishes home to wash too.. that makes me laugh - until I embarrased her into washing them as soon as the meal was done... I like camping but I don't like a dirty messy campsite...

I put them outside in a bag and set up a gamecam, for the bears. Requires less scrubbing before putting them in the dishwash.

Here's my camping coffee....For supper you make up a big pot. This pot should be big enough to hold three days of coffee. It gets better with time and a cigar butt or some ashes enhance it fine. THis recipe comes from the days of cattle drives, back in the time of Charles Goodnight

UUU YUP!!! My great aunt used to make what she called "cowboy " - jest threw a handful of grounds in the bottom of the pot and when it starts boiling out the spout - its ready....

She was a widow and she and I lived together for a while - we traveled for about a month once and she wanted to camp out - so we had the gear and every night she would think of some excuse to stay in a motel or hotel. One early morning we were in Wy and they were having a cattle drive - had to stop the car and wait for the herd to cross the road. She got out and actually wrangled us an invite to breakfast at the chuckwagon !!! so off down a two track dirt road we went (in my VW Bug Convertible) Had the BEST time... and those cowboys were so much fun!!!

No Way!!! mine was a nice soft mint green with a tan top and interior... 1963 !! loved that car..bought it used after some idiot made an illegal left hand turn in front of me and totaled my 1959 Chevy Bel-Air...

Mine was a 63.... Grey with a grey top..... The gas gauge didn't work, but it was really easy to push....lol

Just to clarify...... I was way too young to drive it in 63...... I didn't own it until the late 80's,early 90's

Ooohhh and here I was thinking we were closer in age!?! I didn't own mine either until 1970... BUT I was driving in 1963...barely....

Use to camp a lot. Once camped, living off the land with my family for 2 months. It was quite a experience but haven't camped in years.

Here is where I would like to camp if I was camping out now:0

You all have such beautiful sites and camping arrangements.

These are true boondocking pics. Just camped out in some cool places. In the first one, Baie-des-Rochers, there is space for about 6 - 7 campers and is a gem of a place.

One trick I use when we'd like to spend the night andsunrise in a place like Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia where overnight parking is not allowed we'd eat at a restaurant and then ask the manager if we could spend the night because ''I've had a few drinks and don't feel apt to drive''

Works like a charm!


Great photos .. and LOL @ your sneaky ways ... pg 11

Part of traveling I guess... Our first trip across the U.S. we camped 47 nights and we spent $56.00 for over nights for the whole trip and we did not use WM more than 4 - 5 times. This is true and I have given two conferences on how to travel cheaply too. Our second trip we camped a few days in the Rio Grande Village, Big Bend, TX and 4 - 5 in Organ Pipe down your way, and several in a KOA near Lafayette, LA..dat's it.

Great shot of the Mittens... You know what you learn is not how to travel cheaply - its how to travel "smartly".....

Boondocking

You know you are boondocking when :

1. There is no one else around you.
2. Nature calls, you answer and don’t check to see if anyone is watching.
3. Your daily hot water shower is when you strip down and jump in and don’t care if anyone is watching.
4. You run a trout line at night.
5. You eat trout for breakfast.
6. The only other vehicles you have seen in a week are eight quads ( mebbe the same one eight times) and five pickups.
7. You ran out of beer three days ago.
8. Your bowl of berries is always full.
9. You forgot your razor and it doesn’t matter.
10. Your biggest chore is hauling water.
11. Your campfire and the sunset are called ‘’Don’ git no betta’ than this, dude’’.
12. After sunset, you hit the hay.
13. You don’t know what day it is.
14. You don’t care either.
15. On a rainy day, you sleep.
16. Last night’s spaghetti re-heated is not a bad meal.
17. Cruising the dirt roads during the afternoon is a way of life.
18. You slept outside last night.
19. You wash your dishes with sand.
20. AND the BEST………You can hear the silence.

Now my brother-in-law, owner and operator of a big rig considers it boondocking when:

1. There’s not enough amperage to run all his accessories at the same time.
2. He has no cable connection.
3. His cell phone is in a ‘’dead’’ zone.
4. He cannot get a daily paper.
5. He ran out of propane for his BBQ.
6. On rainy days, he and his wife hold Scrabble Tournaments.
7. Exploring is riding around his 5-star campground on a bike checking out all the other big rigs.
8. He is next to a Class B, and therefore does not talk to them.
9. He has to take a shower at the campground and gripes because he is paying fifty bucks a day and the showers are metered.
10. He does not re-heat last night’s spaghetti.
11. His best camping friends are snowbirds and they too do not have cable connections.
12. The campground does not have a golf course.
13. Bingo Nite is the hi-light of the week.
14. They go into town to eat at a restaurant midway through their stay.
15. Hearing silence is when the neighbours’ kids are sleeping or off to the pool and the generator is shut down.

Like your cold wax creations! I have tried encaustic which uses melted wax onto a stiff board or cardboard. Did you
melt your wax? Looks very similar! Ops-s/be reply quote!

I like your cold wax creations! I have done encaustic that uses hot wax. Did you melt the wax to apply to the backing or did you "draw" first & then use a heat gun to adhere it???

You camped with elephants? Now THAT is exciting
