Camping details

Camping is fun. Moving from spot to spot is a bit harder. Wendi would like to plunk down at one point and “set up camp” but this trip isn’t like this. We are staying 1-2 days at each site and the moving onward. 

Campsite people are very nice folks. We are very impressed with the people we are meeting. We have been preparing to “Hipcamp” our farm ... this is an airB&B service for RV/campers. The last two couples we met were excited to possibly Hipcamp at our place someday. 


This is Treva. She and her husband Bill were an amazing couple with six children and even great grandchildren now. They were traveling with Ted and Janis. “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” they called it! The girls LOVED them and their dogs! So neat to see a great big world with so many different people. 

This camp had some water issues. (Surprise! It’s the desert!) We did take showers in our own camper but five people taking a super fast cold shower filled up our gray water tanks: and I didn’t get a shower. The laundry was also not working well so I didn’t get to wash clothes either. We are nearing the end of our supplies so really hoping for laundry at the next park. 

We brought a LOT of food. In the future I think we will bring less. We brought one fantastic cooler, but the two “cheaper” coolers we have are junkie .... we lost some croissants and cinnamon rolls to thawing quicker than expected. We do have a fridge and freezer that stays cold while we travel, but it’s pretty small. 

I was hoping the microwave would work when we stopped at gas stations ... but the battery won’t run the microwave so we can’t do an on-the-go lunch as easily as I thought. 

We had wanted to do a practice trip before we went but just didn’t have the time. So this has had to be more of a practice trip. We are learning some things ... among them .... kids are messy. Well, I knew that of course, but I’m realizing it’s more true than ever. They have no clue how to not get a lot of clothes dirty or a lot of rags, etc. 

But we are learning!!
