Ara and I tried to set up Jeannie & Donald's tent before they arrived. We made several attempts but didn't give up until we had it standing. When Steve arrived he straightened it out and tightened it up.
My screen tent, which was mainly used to store our food supplies. The picnic table was located too close to the fire ring to be of practical use.
This is our group's set-up: Steve's camper, Meg's tent (being pregnant it is too difficult for her to climb up onto the bed in the camper overhead. She had a great set up in the tent, though - a regular bed-size (in height as well as mattress size) air mattress. Next is Jeannie & Donald's tent, and then a wonderful screen shade canopy which kept our seating area and picnic table shaded in the afternoon. My tent is in back of Steve's camper.
Can't forget our pooches. Lady is with Steve's dog Rocco. They were both wonderful campers, but then they aren't new to it either.
Enjoying a breakfast banana.
This is enough for one day, and I'll post some more pictures with tomorrow's blog. It is really trying to figure out from the little thumbnails, exactly which picture I'm posting.

I left Lava Beds at 8 am thinking I had a leisurely 100 mile drive to Crater Lake. It is an awesome place that sometimes makes you think you are in another world. I forgot the name of the Wildlife Refuge on the way and didn't...
- The Tent
My tent arrived yesterday, and I set it up right away and again this evening (Tuesday). I can do it so much easier the 2nd time, and it really wasn't difficult the first. I am a bit unhappy that it didn't have a completely full rainfly - the fly...

I went to the apartment first thing, swept the patio and then threw the broom into the dumpster, then turned in the keys. I didn't even go inside as Donald & Jeannie went with me last night to check it out. I wanted someone with sharp eyesight to...
- Back Home
I left home a week ago in the best of spirits, and when we arrived at the campground it couldn't have been better. We were the only ones in our entire loop, set up the tents and equipment, then sat down to just look at the trees. Last Monday was pretty...

The only thing that makes me happier than making lists of things that need to be done, purchased, taken care of, etc., is poring over maps and planning routes. I've done both today. The lists are for various iterations of camping trips - depending...
