How many of you have decorations for the outside of your camper? My sister in law has lights for the different holidays (Red, White and Blue for the 4th of July, Pumpkins for Halloween, etc) that she clips to the awning. I just wondered if anyone else does this.

My first camping trip was an overnight stay with some friends to go canoeing. We had a great time and I cherish those memories. What was your first trip? How old were you? What are your favorite memories of that trip?

I went to the greatest haunted house the other night. It was 4 stories tall and over 10,000 square feet. The special effects in the place were amazing and so were the actors. It was probably the best $20 I ever spent.

One would think that if you drove a very large pick up truck with a lift on it, that you would be very aware of your surroundings and what is behind you. Alas, that is not the case as my poor car can now attest to.

It makes me sad to think another camping season is just about over. We just put the bikes and camping gear up for the winter. We didn't get to go as often as we would have liked but maybe next year.

We went to look for a bike rack for the Blazer and since we have no hitch we have to either get one or get the trunk mounted rack. The hitch is over $200 to have installed. Ouch! The trunk mounted bike rack was $175! Can you find them cheaper?

Does anyone have any campfire fish recipes for when you have a good take on the water? I am looking for mainly perch, walleye, and salmon recipes.

We have had the craziest weather so far this year. Usually by this time in the year we are around 40s-50s temperature wise and snow will be falling anytime. This year however we have swung from 90s in early August to 50s-60s mid August back up to 90s in September. We have also had some really...

My bike seat is the standard uncomfortable seat and I have hip issues so I am wondering what i could do to offset this. What is the most comfortable bike seat that anyone has found? Do the gel seats and whatever really help?

Being a big klutz I am probably lucky this doesn't happen more often, but it seems like almost every time we have made plans to go camping this year I have hurt myself either right before or during the trip. This time is no exception. I tripped on a blade of grass in the yard yesterday and...

The problem with trucks is they sit so high up and the tailgates block a large portion of what's behind you. So a few days ago I backed into a post and killed my bumper which will cost $100 at least to repair. Doh! Have you ever done anything stupid like that and been really mad at yourself?

These are always a huge hit at parties and even when it is just me and my boyfriend there are rarely any leftovers. Line your grill with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick Pam (or whatever brand you like). Put a couple slabs of baby back ribs on there and grill on medium heat turning...

My significant other and I love to ride bikes. We are lucky that we have over 50 miles of rail trail access near our home. We have ridden about 15 miles round trip from different spots on the trail but are thinking of taking the entire trail and making a day of it. What is the longest ride you...

Anybody here ever go camping outside of their home country? I would love to go up hiking and camping in Canada as I love it there and it is beautiful especially in the less populated areas.

We love to do these when we are camping. I throw a tortilla either on the tripod over the fire or on the grill, some previously grilled chicken and some cheese, then top with a 2nd tortilla. We cook them a few minutes on each side then slice them up and enjoy! You can also do dessert by using...

This is a picture I took from my recent hiking trip in Minnesota up the the Gooseberry Falls! I had such a great time and took lots of great pictures. Has anyone else ever been?

I am in the market for a nice, most likely used boat. I would like something more than an aluminum boat but nothing super fancy. I can only afford to spend about $1000. I just want to be able to take it out on the lake and tool around a bit. What would the best type of boat and motor to get in...

I am not sure how we got the name for these but we have been making them since I was a kid. We take either chicken or beef chunks, carrots, onion, potatoes, herbs, and butter wrap it all together in aluminum foil and throw it on the fire. It is so tasty! Lately we have started a new...

One of my favorite things about camping is meeting new people. On our last camping trip we met a really nice couple and a great group of kids that could sing and play guitar like no other while we were walking around the first night. We sat around the campfire at night, shared great food and...

On my last camping trip I tried something new since I could not find my campfire griddle anywhere. I put the French Toast directly on the grill and it was extremely tasty. I always add a pinch of cinnamon and vanilla to my eggs too. I was a little worried it would stick or the eggs would drip...
