Tent Camping in the Rockies
Lyle says he thinks it’s time to concede that we are too old for tent camping. All I’m willing to concede is that I miss our trailer! Even though we live close to the Rocky Mountains, this past weekend was only the second time we’ve gone camping since we moved to Colorado. So far we’re averaging once per summer. Turns…

Camping in the Fall
Late summer and early fall seem to be when we get most of our weekend camping trips in. I love the weather this time of year. Sunny days with brilliant blue skies– warm in the sunshine, but jacket-weather in the shade– and crisp evenings once the sun goes down. Just perfect for enjoying a campfire. My favorite part about the…

Camping on the River
Our camping season is off to a late start this year due to all the traveling we did in the spring, but we were finally able to get away for two nights this past weekend. We stayed at a lovely Forest Service campground on the Moyie River up near Bonners Ferry. Our campsite was right on the river. It was…

Camping in September
We got off to a late start with our camping this year, due to a really wet spring and a busy homeschool convention season. However, we’ve been making up for lost time this month, with the gorgeous Indian Summer weather we’ve been having. Believe it or not, we’ve been camping for the past 3 weekends in a row. Well, Lyle…

Camping Adventures
Last weekend we went camping for the second time this summer. We intended to go to Priest Lake. Actually, we did go there, but all the campgrounds were full, so we drove across the state into Montana and ended up at Yaak River again. (Granted, the state is only 90 miles across the panhandle, but it seemed like a long…

Camping on the Border
This past weekend we went camping up in the very tip-top of the Idaho panhandle, just 1 mile from the Canadian border. The weather was iffy all weekend. Our campsite was right on the Moyie River, which was pretty full… and cold! What’s this? A flirting bench? Why, I believe it is! I think that handsome man is just waiting…

Labor Day Camping Trip
We camped at beautiful Priest Lake for the Labor Day weekend. We didn’t actually end up staying at the campsite much this time. Lyle had planned out a full itinerary of Geocaches in the area, so we did a lot of exploring. It’s such a gorgeous area, so that was a perfect plan– and the weather cooperated nicely. Here’s the…

Montana Camping Trip
This past weekend we went camping in northwestern Montana with friends. Mostly we go camping by ourselves, but this is the second time this summer we’ve had the privilege of sharing the fun with another family. Lyle was able to take off at noon on Friday so we got to the campground in the early evening. We got our campsite…

Holiday Getaway
We enjoyed a camping trip over the long weekend. Our friends, the B family, joined us for part of the time. They had never been camping before… nor had they been geocaching. We were happy to introduce them to the fun! One of the geocaches took us up a very long, bumpy road to the top of a mountain. It…
