Re: Who's Goin Camping This Summer 2012

I've been camping almost every weekend lately. We have a "secret" place in the desert that we go to. It's someones private property so we have to call and get permission. There are 2 ponds, one big enough that there is a paddle boat and tree swing. Lots of huge green trees....and mosquitos!

Many people don't know this place exsists, and I feel very lucky that we do! Someday I will get pictures up =)

I went on my first trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park and we stayed there 4 days. My kids brought the round snow saucers because there was plenty of snow for sliding.

We are planning a 3 week trip to Eastern Oregon (Wallowa Mountains) in August. I want to do a lot of fishing and berry picking. My wife bought a lot of books on foraging and is going to try the Euell Gibbons method of eating. It's amazing that there is a lot of food available growing wild. In the Bay Area, we have harvested thistle. The stalks taste like celery! You need gloves to pick it.

We are just beginning to get ready for our camping season! Yeah, some may say that summer's winding down, but for us we avoid the rush of summer and start camping mid-August through autumn, winter & spring. With that in mind, in less than two weeks we are planning on doing a short weekend camp in the Unita Mountains, UT. Butterfly Lake at an elevation of 10, 200' to start(check it out on Google Earth). Kayak a little, fly fish rainbow & grayling trout, cook gourmet all the way & work out the kinks from not camping for over a year. Then the last week of Aug we will be vacant almost that entire week for an extended camp to Butterfly Lake & Christmas Meadow! No internet and no phone, exactly the way we like to camp! It's getting exciting! And we can't wait!
