First Camptrip Of The Year

OK I'm half packed this morning and ready to go camping. This will be our first trip this year. Were going local to a water front and fully shaded site for three nights.

The first trip of the year is always the most tedious. Checking camp gear. I had to get my camp stove fixed, thanks to Greg I didn't have to pay. Nice to have good friends. Rearrange a few things from what didn't work so well last year and pack a few new item I purchased and changed this year. Including:

• A fan to see if a little white noise will help with sleep
• A $3 thrift store metal camp table or chair depending on how I use it or if I do
• A milk crate to use as a side table in the tent
• And a dog bed I made from an old self inflating camp mat folded in half and pushed into a fuzzy fabric case I sewed, lucky dog
• Putting our cloths in a laundry basket. My Mother In Law used to travel that way across country with Buddy her husband. I thought it was an idea worth trying. Heck it's all going back into the laundry when I get home
• Using a big plastic bin that we don't use for wood......... hummm might work
• Lastly I added a few clear plastic bins to keep organized and labeled them too

We will be back soon and posting away I'm sure...........................................................
