Who goes camping?

Quote from Stafford

Extended warranties are about the worst investment you can make but Dick's was crazy enough to sell me one on the Coleman air mattress I bought. It's not like anyone I know would set a calendar reminder a month before the warranty expires and arrange an accidental meeting with a sharp object around that time.

I've got a Coleman tent that's going on 12 years old and still in excellent shape. I can fit 10 kids or 6 adults in there comfortably. We also have had Coleman inflatable beds over the years. Our last one bit the dust when we decided to use it as a launcher for the kids! Right now I have a self-inflating sleep pad and I believe it's a Coleman too. It was a gift a few years back so it hasn't seen a heckuva lot of use but it is comfortable. It works pretty well at keeping the hammock spread open so my sleeping bag doesn't fall out one side or the other while I'm trying to get in the hammock.

A Fall Surf Fishing gathering at CHSP might be in order, we could reserve a block of sites , camp and surf fish.

I will be making reservations on Friday for CHSP Oct 3rd - 5th, with kids Not sure what site yet. Was plenty open when I looked this morning. If anyone else wants to join us, lets discuss site areas and do this!

Damn pointy rocks ...

CO, UT and WY... what about you? (seriously, a 3 week trip in September )

I'm looking to either build a trailer or just bite the bullet and buy a Bushranger 200... either way, I'll try to camp at Cape Henlopen a few nights a month and I dunno what else. Gotta use it enough to justify the expense.

Anyone planning any camping trips this year?

Yes Definitely.

I'm ready for some tent time and being around the campfire.

I may be trying to set up another hiking/camping trip on the Appalachian Trail @ Michaux SF next month. If not there, maybe something a little closer to home. I'll start another thread soon to gauge interest.

Does camping in the peterbilt count?

i like to plan a trip out to wv and do some camping and some rafting

Look up Southern Delaware Offroad on Facebook.

We are planning a trip to WV in mid-May.

No rafting, but should be awesome camping, great star gazing and lots of fantastic memories.

I sooooo wish! Maybe in a few years, maybe. Tax return is going towards an SYE and driveshaft this year. Maybe if there's some left I might be able to look into an 8.8 or other small upgrades.

West Virginia is only 5 hours. Tons of spots for that. I'm sure there are closer spots but not sure.

Check out George Washington National Forest. Its mainly easy trail riding with great scenery.

Quote from Keith.eric

Does anyone know anywhere within a 3-4 hour drive where you can do some mild wheeling (mostly just trailblazing & greens) AND where you can find a spot, park the Jeep, and just set up camp right next to your vehicle as opposed to a designated area?

AND does anyone want to do a short trip (weekend) at the end of May? Maybe some fishing and hiking?

I've done this in the NJ's Warton State Forest.
