Outdoor Camping Gets You Back to Nature |
| 1/24/2010 9:02:39 PM |
 When I was just a girl, my family and I went outdoor camping every spring and summer. We were the most popular campers at the campground because my Mom made sure we had every creature comfort under the sun while we "roughed it" outdoors. There was nothing better than the smell of fresh-caught crawdads and catfish from the camping stove while the sounds of soda... Read More |

Outdoor camping equipment comes in handy after storms |
| 1/21/2010 4:24:42 PM |
 It is very cozy here in the southwest this past week. We have been hit with a lot of rain and the winds are picking up. We need the rain desperately, but it is coming in one big storm.

My favorite seasons are the spring and the fall. Do you know why? Outdoor camping! The summers are brutally hot where I live, so camping during this time is not a very good idea. But just before the weather gets too hot, or once it begins to cool down, are the ideal times for outdoor camping. This year, before the winter months set in, I managed to invite myself on one...

After a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs, hash browns made from fresh potatoes, onions and bell peppers, bacon and camp toast they are off on a hike or fishing or to play touch football.
