Kindle Camping Mysteries
We haven’t been camping for weeks. The end of the school year always seems to be the busiest time for us, so finding a free weekend to get away has been impossible. To get back in the camping mood I have found several mysteries on Amazon to download on my Kindle. If you don’t have a Kindle and prefer to actually hold a book in your hand, I believe most of these can be ordered from Amazon or even found at your local library. I am cheap when it comes to my Kindle downloads, so I like to get the “free” or cheap book in a cozy mystery series to…

Campfire Food
Our last campout happened to be on a Friday during lent. Catholics will understand this, but for the rest of my readers it means no meat. Our usual staple of hamburgers and hot dogs was not going to work. So we brought the makings of a pizza to make in our portable smoker. And hoped that it would turn out. The lactose intolerant kid had to have spaghetti. Here is a quick list of what we brought to construct the pizza. So easy and simple. It also helps to have a former pizza maker from a national chain doing all the work. Easy Camp Pizza Publix brand pre-made…

Hart Springs
With the kids off for spring break it was the perfect time to get away for the weekend and go camping. We chose a place in Florida that was only a couple of hours away. Hart Springs is located in Gilchrist county near the town of Bell, Florida. It is a county park that has both RV and tent camping sights. We had a fantastic time at this beautiful campground. Our camp sight was spacious. The boys had room to run around and we didn’t have to worry about our territorial dog barking at the neighbors. There was not a grill or fire ring at our site, so keep that…

Prepping the Camper
We are getting ready for our next adventure this weekend. Time to prep the camper with a little help from a willing volunteer. We started out by giving the camper a good scrub down. The camper had been in storage for a few months and really needed it. It was a little chilly today by Florida standards so it was a quick wash and rinse. We then moved inside to prep where it was a little warmer. Prepping the toilet is easy but so necessary. Just drop a tablet in and pour 3-5 gallons as you flush. This is what we use, but I think any brand you find will…

Our Jayco Camper
We had been searching for a camper for a few months before we found one that fit our budget and needs. We went to RV dealerships and shows trying to find the perfect camper for us. First thing we found out was that we were limited on what we could get because of towing capability of the truck we had at the time. A seventeen foot camper was the biggest we could go and it couldn’t have a lot of options. The second thing we found out was how hard is was going to be to find a camper that size with a bunkbeds for the boys. As soon was…
