We took our new camper out for its first camping trip over the weekend. Overall it was quite a success.
We had reservations for the campground at Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas. (see my Petit Jean State Park and Petit Jean Mountain page.) We have camped there several times in the past. It is a [...]

Devil’s Walking Stick
We spent Saturday morning of our late autumn camping trip just lazing around the camper. Having spent somewhere around 90 nights in various campgrounds around the country in the last year, sometimes it’s nice to just have a lazy morning.
After lunch we decided to try a trail that we hadn’t hiked [...]

An After-the-Trip Travel Journal
August 13, 2007 - Halstead, Kansas
Today was the first day of our trip — and we don’t have internet access and barely, just barely, have cell phone access. Oh well, I’ll just post this when we get to someplace that has internet.
About An [...]
I’d intended to finish the travel journal for the trip we finished 4 weeks ago, but never got around to it. Instead of doing that, I’m going to treat it as a project and start from the day one of the trip.
The first part of this project was to lay out the route of the [...]
Right now it’s not funny, but maybe someday it will be.
Our last night of camping was at a KOA west of Oklahoma City. We didn’t use the air conditioning in the camper, though night-time temperatures were going to be a little higher than what we had been seein.. I got a little chilled during the [...]

We’ve been traveling the last several days after spending some time in Moab, Utah, and visiting Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park. We will be back home tomorrow afternoon.
One of the things I plan to do after we get home is go back through the photos that I have collected and post travel [...]
