Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> of any of the gear...Amanda will probably
-> ->  hn> inherit it when she gets a place of her own.
-> ->  hn> She loves camping and will eventually have
-> ->  hn> time to get out and do some!
-> 
-> -> Rachel & David took the kids over Memorial Day week end.  Even tho 
they
-> -> were out only one night and things didn't go as smooth as they 
expected,
-> -> they plan to go again.  We had already passed on our camping stuff by
-> -> then but Rachel said that David bought a lot of new gear.  I don't know
-> -> if Deborah is interested in doing any--she has to for her job every so
-> -> often.
-> 
->  hn> Anne and I loved camping, Amanda loved it
-> 
-> We took our girls several times, mostly while we were in Germany. They
-> enjoyed it too, even the one year when it rained a lot.  That was the
-> year we made chili spaghetti after our friend's pot of spaghetti sauce
-> went all over the stove and ground.  The pot handle broke as he was
-> trying to pour the sauce into the noodles.
-> 
When I lived in Hawaii I disscovered
chili over rice...still love that to this
day!

->  hn> as a child and we went often. Anne likes
->  hn> "civilized" camping at campgrounds with
->  hn> showers and such
-> 
-> That does make it nice. (G)
->
For the ladies at least!
 
-> ...I liked backcountry
->  hn> hiking and camping. Every now and then
->  hn> I'd go camping on my own for a bit, just
->  hn> to "refresh the soul" as it were. But mostly
->  hn> we went camping as a family and it was
->  hn> great fun! Now, both of us have trouble
->  hn> sleeping on the ground, and since we
-> 
-> Even a cot can be hard to get up out of in a tent.
->
yep.
 
->  hn> both also now use CPAP machines, it's
->  hn> less likely that we'll do that much camping
->  hn> anymore.
-> 
-> Not very likely unless you "cheat camp" with a motor home and plug into
-> an electric source.
->
Have actually looked at a pop up 
trailer ( google Aliner to see one)
but have not made any move towards
really getting one.
 
-> -> Then you're a step or two ahead of me.  Any possibilities?  Smoker
-> -> capable or not?  We can do some indirect smoking with this grill but
-> -> it's not really set up to do turkeys and such like we did in HI and GA.
-> -> We're thinking of staying here for Thanksgiving & having some seminary
-> -> singles share with us--if the weather is decent, we can grill something
-> -> or possible smoke a turkey breast.
-> 
->  hn> Well with just the two of us, I'm actually
->  hn> thinking about getting another weber
->  hn> kettle, it's charcoal, but the one we
->  hn> had earlier in our marriage lasted a long
->  hn> time and did a great job, and you could
->  hn> even do smoking in it if you were careful
->  hn> and watchful.
-> 
-> What about the Little Green Egg?  They're on the pricy side but I
-> understand they do a very nice job of grilling.
-> 
I've looked at the green egg...they ARE
pricey, but I may consider one if I can
find one at the right price...which has
not been the case so far!
chat with you soon!
