Last week we camped at Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Using the Inter-agency Senior Pass I bought earlier this year, the cost was $5 per night, which came out to $35 for the week. Plus free entrance to Lake Mead NRA!
We stayed at our favorite campground and I am happy to report that the occupancy was around 10%. It was nice and quiet the whole week.
Gone Camping.
Surprise, surprise! This weekend we went camping in the High Desert to celebrate my 63rd birthday. I usually do a birthday backpacking trip each year, but it is a week or two after my birthday; I spend birthdays with Joyce.
Cooking in a camper is different than when on an ultralight backpacking trip. UL backpackers usually try to pare down the weight of every item, so small stoves and instant foods are the typical fare, not to say the backpacker can’t get fancy and prepare some outstanding foods from scratch.
But camping lends itself to gourmet cooking.
For 10 years we have been camping with a Weber Q series grill. For a more detailed look at the Weber Q, see this post about the Baby Q (model 100). I did the same LPG conversion on the new one too.
