ot camping

August 1, 2006

We’re thinking of going camping too.

My son (the 6 year old archaeologist) wants to see the prehistoric cave

paintings in France

so we may camp near there and see what we can do. I also understand there are

some great museums he may want to visit (if it has to do with archaeology, paleontology,

or Egyptology he wants to see it). It would be great to find a dig site for

him, but I’ve never seen one open to the public. My daughter thinks

it would be fun too. She has no strong opinions on anything except dance –

she loves to dance. She would dance all day long if she could. We took her to

see some Degas paintings and she loved it. I want to take her to a ballet but I’m

waiting until she is at least 7. Hopefully we can find fun things for her

to do too..

Hi Carolyn,

I would like to see your daily fitness

journal. I have a binder I write down all my workouts in and then I have

my total hours that I worked out for the month.

I'm doing " look great in eight " rotation, but I have

added my own stuff to it too.

The camping sounds fun. We've talked about doing it, but have yet

to do it. We never go anywhere or do anything. We are in such a rutt.

Have you tried contacting a university with an archaeology program to see if they have anything you could take your son to see?

yeah I kind of miss camping and i mean real camping not cabin camping or trailer

camping like my brother does but popping a tent and cooking junk from a can,

changing clothes in a tent while hoping no one sees you. lol lol the chilly dew

in the morning, smells of last night bon fires. Nice stuff. I dont miss the

sleeping on the hard ground part though.

I was thinking this summer of having a mock campout for the kids. Pop a tent in

the yard, make up a cooler full of food, give them a radio and cards and make

them stay outside for a few days. The only time they get allowed to come inside

is to go to the bathroom. They spend too much time inside and playing video

games or watching baby tv(we dont have cable so all we get is PBS for them, I

wont dare let them watch Jerry springer or any of the other daytime shows)in the

summer. the only time they are outside is to swim.

I think it will be fun.maybe even let them sleep over a night or 2 instead of

sending them home. of course i will help do some cooking on the grill.

I would also like to do an oldfashiod day where we don't use any electric if we

could help it, all candles and other things just for fun. get the creative

juices flowing ya know?

I know exsactly what you mean Koalas! I love the hiking though it may look like

I don't do anything. I like being in the woods and feeling at home and at peace.

I strated my deep woods hiking back in 1991, and love'd it ever sense. My sister

Tina and I have a sisters get together and go camping still every now and then.

We don't do the two hour hike in but our favorite spot is Moss Lake in Eagle

Bay, NY! One thing I don't like is the feeling that its becomming less of an

actual Camping area and more of a tourist attraction.

GRILL! what happened to the campfire? You guys are making me want to go out and

find a kid to join scouts with. lol I used to love camping with my kids and the

scouts. Growing up all of us kids in the neighborhood slept out under the stars,

my dad would throw an old army canvas over a rope tied between trees that was

our tent.We lived in the woods, none of us had tans.We were tough kids, heck my

little brother and his friend sucked raw eggs out of a pinhole, now that's

roughing it. YUCK!!!! lol What was really cool was my dad built my brothers a

whole Indian village out in the woods.I think growing up with parents who grew

up in the depression was like having gold.My mom and dad made us and all the

other kids all kinds of neat things out of nothing. I think they were green

before their time. As for going green for the gathering , I think it,s great! We

don't use paper plates in our house so that's no big deal for me.Maybe I can dig

out my girl scout

collapsible cup, I know I have it somewhere.

Another story; when I was 6 we went out to California from NJ to see Grandma,

Grandpa, aunts, uncles & cousins. My dad packed our 1950? " PINK " Studabaker

wagon, built a wooden box to carry our stuff on the roof ,built my little

brother who was around 2 and me a bunk bed across the back , my mom and 2 older

brothers slept on air mattress with the seat folded down at night and my dad

across the front seat.Back then Dixie made paper bowls and milk came in a glass

bottle so....the boys didn't have to make many pit stops.It was hard finding

bushes for my mom and me out in the desert. lol My little brother sang " Eat in

the car, sleep in the car, pee in the car " lol.When we got out there my dad

emptied the box put his old trusty army canvas in it and made us kids a pool.We

got to see things there and back that only rich kids saw back then.My mom and

dad saved every penny for that month long trip and it will stick with me

forever, i wouldn't trade it for all

the gold in china!

Make those kids summertime memories, they will love you for it.

well we just have a little fire pit that is allenclosed so you can't quite cook

on it. and the last few times we had REAL bon fires some jerks called the fire

department on us. Our neighbors can be real downers. granted the one was

several feet tall.

Lets see we used to go to Maine each and every year when I was little. my

parents fit 4 of us kids maybe at times 5 of us plus the two of them in the van

or station wagon. I remember sleeping with a huge cardboard box full of clothes

under me. We had a huge 10 person army tent. I had fun memories from Maine. I

remember standing under the dryier vents outside the laundry house to dry my

hair. lol lol putting quarters in the outdoor showers and i mean outdoor i am

surprised the wind didn't blow the curtains opened. (or maybe they were doors, i

was only maybe as old as 8 back then)

Speaking of singing in the car, i drove everyone crazy singing to " C is for

Chrissy, its good enough for me " along with cookie monster and other various

sesame street songs. Everyone was hoping the 8track would break. Also the

muppets " moving right along " is another great trip song. This is fun going down

memory lane. anyone else have fun camp stories?

Hmm Camping stories eh? Well, when I was little, we would go camping in

the wilderness. A few of you may know that I grew up in South Eastern

Idaho, not far from Yellowstone park and the Teton Peaks. No camp grounds

(never been to one before I was married) . We would bath (wash up) in a

creek, and sleep outside under the stars. We dint even have a tent. If we

went anywhere that required an overnite stay and we were not camping we'd

have to sleep in the car. Only spent one or two times in a hotel room when

I was a kid and one was because we were stuck out in the desert in the

winter.

I have *never* been camping before. Can you believe that?

Jeff and the kids want to go camping this summer. We have a tent, sleeping

bags, etc. So, it'll be pretty neat that their first camping experience will

be *mine*, too!

April 30, 2009

As a kid, my only family camping experience was in a pop-up for a few days.

Boy, did we rough it! ;-)

We took our kids to a state park with no electricity and we were on a beautiful

site at the edge of a ridge. That night, we had a microburst and were afraid

that our camper was going over the cliff. We had to stay in the cars because of

the chance of getting hit by lightning, the kids were screaming, it was

terrific. We went home the next day.

We do own a pop-up, and went a few times, but the kids are getting too old and

busy, so we're selling it.

I like day hikes where I can go back to a hotel at night and take a shower and

sleep in a clean bed, LOL.

Dang I always wondered what it be like to sleep right out in the open!

As children I never went camping with family matter fact the only camp we would

do is if we went with Salvation Army or Community center in our area and those

where cabins packed full bratt kids lol. My first hiking experience was when I

was 21! I LOVED IT. We had rachins and tent, and it was a 2hr hike and I thought

I was going to die lol cause I didnt know how to breathe right while hiking with

heavy pack on my back.

Naw not me. I never once wondered what it would be like to sleep under the

stars. Growing up i knew way too well about moisqeetos. As matter of fact one

camp trip we did stay right in the woods (vs open camp area) and wow was it

buggie. I hate bugs. please give me a tent and keep the buggers OUT of it.

another fun idea is if you can't go away and camp but you have a screened in

porch. grab a sleeping bag and sleep on that or as my cousin and I did on

occassion was grabbed out swim floats and slept on them on the porch. amazing

experiance. you catch all the late nighters out and about and a cool breeze(if

your lucky enough)

> Dang I always wondered what it be like to sleep right out in the open!

May 1, 2009

My brother and my freind and I did that all the time in the yard when we

were kids. Like I said, we dint have a tent. You just have to keep your

face in the sleeping bag. Moquitoes seem to go away when it gets later in

the nite but your nose gets cold. One nite one of our cats crawled inside

my brothers sleeping bag and had kittens!
