Years ago, we started like many others with a tent, camp stove, lantern, and coolers and enjoyed the outdoors. And then after a stormy night that resulted in a split tent, soaked bedding, and no sleep, one of us decided there would be no more camping without hard walls and a roof over our head. We now “rough it” in a 5th wheel camper with most of the amenities of home. We still have the camp stove, lanterns, and coolers and enjoy cooking with the old equipment from time to time. Some meals just seem to taste better when cooked and devoured al fresco, especially breakfast!

We don’t take ourselves too seriously, so everything that we share is raw truth and more simple than flowery. We are just wandering, enjoying the great outdoors, and sharing our experiences with others. Most of our activities are low impact and require moderate exertion, at best. There are locations that draw huge crowds, because of their beauty, and others that are spectacular and relatively unknown. A national park is a location as “touristy” as you will find us visiting. Many times, we will “do it while we have the chance”, because we many never have the chance to return. We rarely regret these impulse adventures. When possible, links to additional information are included in our posts.

Our recipes are tried and true and we look for ways to make delicious “home cooked” meals while on the road.  

Many of our recipes include items that can be prepared ahead, when you actually have the time, and used to quickly throw something together when you are tired from the day’s activities.  

While we may suggest a particular piece of equipment to use, the majority of our ideas can be prepared with other methods, including a campfire, if you so choose. 

We aim for restaraunt quality at the campgroud, because great food makes for great memories.
