Gone Camping.

Desert. Again. and Again.
THE WEATHER IS HERE, WISH YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL.
A variation of the popular post cards that are sold in Palm Springs gift shops; which proclaim, “The weather is beautiful, wish you were here.”
Many people I know who are campers and/or backpackers are winding down their camping and hiking activities as we head towards winter.
So this past week I headed out to camp with my beautiful wife in the high desert area of Joshua Tree National Park. Unfortunately, it didn’t dawn on me that Monday the 11th was Veterans Day and all the camp grounds were full.
So we headed to the lower Colorado Desert to a place I knew would not be crowded, where we enjoyed our fourth consecutive week of desert camping.
Which is Better: Camping or Backpacking?
Over the past several weeks posts have been primarily focused on camping in our new Milan 26RLS Travel Trailer. Does this mean backpacking has taken a back seat? Is camping better?
Yes and no.
Desert. Again.
Got back late last night from our 5th camping trip in as many weeks. As we did the previous two weeks, we spent time in the desert. Unlike our past two trips in the lower desert in Anza Borrego and Joshua Tree, we headed to the high desert.
Desert Time
Spent this weekend camping in the desert with Joyce. The previous two weekends we camped in the mountains where the nighttime temperatures dropped in the 30’s F. So instead of wearing layers of clothing and down coats, we were able to sit outside at night in shorts and T-shirts.
Elegant Dining in the Outdoors
Does your spouse or significant other not want to go camping (or backpacking) often enough? Maybe you need to add some romance to your outdoor activities.
