We spend a lot of time camping each summer...we have a hybrid camper...it's a regular metal camper, but the ends fold out to make a queen size and a full size bed. Love my little camper! We cook in Dutchovens, so we usually end up eating better when we camp than we do at home! :lol: Whenever we tell people that we're going camping, we always end up with guests for dinner...so much so that we plan for an annual "Dinner Party at the Lake", and have had as many as 17 people show up!
This year, one of the sewing machines will be going camping too...not sure which one yet tho...obviously not one of the cabinet machines! ;) Would love to get a handcrank!

Black Hills, it really cools down at night. I guess that is why.

The blue grass part sounds fun but the camping.........I camp at Best Western. The last time I tent camped, I took my girl scout troop on an after dark nature hike. I stepped on a snake and a bat went after my hair..........that was the end of my camping days!!

We went camping last weekend... It was so nice up here, the campground had to open up parts of the campground that were closed!! The only bummer was that the water to the sites was not turned on, and the boy's dad didn't find out until AFTER he'd set the trailer up... it's hard to just pack up a 30 ft. camper and go get water!
We also seem to be grand central entertainment central when we came. We had 2 different families last weekend, and already people are emailing us to see when we are going out again!!! At Canadian Thanksgiving I usually have 15 + people for turkey dinner... most of them American.
I am doing some english paper piecing at the trailer, but I do take my little pink sewing machine for trips when I know the boy's dad will be busy all day and I can sew!
We were at a RV show today... and didn't see 1 thing I thought we should have. I guess we will stick with our 1989 Award for a while longer!

I hate camping, have gone once with another couple and their 3 bratty boys, last time. When we were builting our cabin in the woods thirty years ago we pitched a tent every weekend until we got cabin under roof and walls up. Took all summer, working on weekends. Pretty much now just for the guys. We do all go down for Thanksgiving. We have no running water.
