Friday July 10, 2009
In the summer, most of my camping trips are 1-nighters during the week when campgrounds are less crowded. However, every fall I go on a 3-week trip.

What Is Your Favorite Way To Cook At The Campground?

Friday July 3, 2009
Weber Baby Q Gas GrillDoesn't food taste better at the campground? It doesn't matter how you cook it. It just seems to taste good eating outdoors. I like to cook almost as much as I like to eat. I've tried lots of methods to prepare food at the campground, but probably my favorite way to cook outdoors is on a Weber Baby Q portable propane grill. I like the versatility, quick starting and heat control that propane gas grills offer.

"Imagine lazy days soaking up the sun, building sandcastles or napping in a hammock, and peaceful nights that start with incredibly romantic sunsets. It can become a reality... when you camp in the Florida Keys."

Who Did You First Go Camping With?

Friday June 26, 2009
Want to be a hero? Take someone camping for the first time. The excitement of that first campout will create memories that will last a lifetime. I remember the first time I went camping. I went with friends in the neighborhood. We camped out under the stars along the Licking River in northern Kentucky. All we had were our dad's old army sleeping bags, a Coleman pump-style fuel lantern and our imaginations. I don't know what happened to my friends, but I sure remember that first campout.
