We had a rockin good time this weekend at ye' oldey camping ground. Pictures coming soon...but for now, 10 things I learned this weekend...
(1) Road atlases are really neato, and mega functional - especially the one we had, which not only got us there and back, but also highlighted some really great points of attraction.
(2) Inflatable mattresses may be an indicator of 'selling out' in the world of camping, but they sure make for a more comfortable night's sleep.
(3) In the car-camping situation, hand-held flashlights are pretty much just as good as headlamps. But head lamps look cool; especially the ones made circa 1980.
(4) Date of birth is a big indicator of Saturday morning cartoon knowledge.
(4a.) The Gummy Bears rock(ed)!
(5) 2*(le Petite Ecolier) + 2*(melted marshmallow) = 1,000,000*(yummers)
The laws of math don't work in this case:
(le Petite Ecolier) + (melted marshmallow) IS NOT = 500,000*(yummers)
(6) Some people in this world are a little too high strung.
(7) When there's more up-hill ahead, it's better to think "it's all down hill from here" than "miles of sun-exposed upward-moving switchbacks to go".
(8) Shower? Nah.
(9) Me and the folks I hang with are labeled "environmentalists" by the wine-tasting types of the world.
(10) Cottage cheese pancakes taste just as good, if not better, when prepared outside.

JPo - car camping con air mattress is the way to go. Glad to hear you've joined the club. And the Gummy Bears (bouncing here and there and everywhere) really did rock.
Thanks for your support re: mattress, SC!
...high adventures that are beyond compare, they are the Gummy Bears.....
I discussed the Petit Ecolier s'mores at the bbq I went to today, and someone there had used said method. She reported that they were "Different than s'mores, but very yummy." Will have to try it next time...
