camping gear


Our camping gear never lies around long enough to gather dust. The only dust it will see is the dust from the sand dunes or the dirt from camping grounds. This may sound crazy but we keep all our camping gear together in a pile in a corner of the garage. We do this to keep it handy. On a whim we may look at each other and say "road trip." This means load up all that conveniently placed camping gear, throw some sandwiches and water into the cooler and lets go!

We have been known to do this on many, many occasions. Any other provisions we need can be found at stores along the way. It is so exciting to just grab the camping gear and head out to a familiar or not so familiar campsite. We really like to check out new places. There are times we look on the internet for an interesting location, good hiking trails or simply a town with a peculiar name. We have found lots of cool small towns with neat people and sights that way.
