It got really quiet around here today 😕

I'm getting the Jeep ready for Trek. Greasing joints, taking doors off, taking top off, and rigging up a rock light.

Anybody going to wheel a little with me while we're there?

I used to wheel a lot. . .

Rumor has it that I don't wheel anymore and I sold my Jeep, joined a monastery, and drive a VW powered Vespa. wink

I'm paying with sweat and wear-and-tear on my vehicle.

I figured we could do some wheeling after dinner when everybody is at camp.

However, it doesn't look like I'll have a wheeling buddy 🙁

I've got the Jeep and the motorhome to pack 😯

Fortunately, since we went out last weekend the Jeep is mostly packed, but I still need to add more stuff. Can't have too much stuff. lol It usually comes in handy though. 😛

It takes us 3-4 evenings to get ready for a camping weekend. embarassed We're getting better, but there's always room for improvement. I admire those who can wait until the last minute and pack. I want to be like that when I grow up.

Until I can figure out how to do it . . . 😈

I've even asked Scott how he does it. It didn't help.

I've learned to do without a lot of comforts when I go camping.

The jeeps so small I always take the same amount of stuff for a day trip of a 5 day trip, except for food and bevvies.

Still takes me way too long to pack.

Closed Mondays.

Can you teach Kelly that skill? 😀

When I'm going alone it's easy. A sleeping bag in the back of the truck and I'm fine. It takes me longer to pack the cooler than anything else.

It takes longer now that I don't have a garage and everything is stashed away all over the place.

Tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, chair, flashlight, clothes, and food (simple).

Breakfast = breakfsat rolls
Lunch = Uncrustables (ready-made PBJ)
Dinner = cold chicken and macaroni sald

No cooking supplies needed 😀

I keep it all (except food) in a cabinet in the garage. I just have to throw it in. In fact, for small trips I have a bag already packed that has all the above mentioned items already in it except the food is dried. I just throw it in the Jeep for every run.

Ugghhh...one of the best parts of camping is the food.

Breakfast = bacon, eggs, toast
Lunch = cheese/crackers/sandwiches, fruit
Dinner = ribs, lasagna, s'mores.

If I don't add a pound or so when I'm camping I've done it wrong. 😀

Of course I also have a stash of Cliff Bars in the truck for those unplanned adventures.

I agree that good food is great while camping. But, I eat like that every day at home, so it doesn't hurt to cut back while camping. The nice part is you don't have to pack/unpack any cooking gear and there is no clean up.

If I was going camping for more than a couple of days, then I'd bring more stuff or I'd run into town for a good dinner.

I might 🙁

Coffee requires a stove and coffee maker. We'll have to see if it gets packed...

I've got a stove that you're welcome to use, but, I've only got one of those perkolator type coffee makers.
