Camping gear has developed so much even in the past 10 or 20 years, you may actually enjoy it now. <br /><br />@Sonja, camping is pretty easy with a little stove and lightweight gear. I need to do a post on other fun stuff I have to make it easier.<br /><br />@Lori, I don't know about those, I only heard about the Phantom Ship. Guess I'll have to make another trip, oh darn.<br /><br />@Irondad, funny the same thing crossed my mind while we were there and I thought it to be a strange name. It is upstream from the gorge and some pretty turbulent whitewater.<br /><br />@Kari, I got the name from Dave of Riding Tasmania, he asked about my tent and billy and had to Google billy to learn it is a can or cup to boil water, a billycan.<br />http://en.wikipedia.or/wiki/Billycan<br /><br />She wants to go on another camping trip and sent me a link the other day to campgrounds around Fossil, OR.<br />How am I supposed to get the honey do list done at home when she keeps adding to it like this?Troubadourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567767701065756330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348278507505143679.post-51011981716387955492011-08-12T20:20:12.140-07:002011-08-12T20:20:12.140-07:00Crater lake is a great destination ride.

We were there mid-week and mostly had the place to ourselves. I'd say you guys found a primo spot by the river! <br /><br />Billy huh? We have a jetboil (boiled water once at home but haven't had a chance to use it while camping yet. I hadn't thought to give it a name! Good to hear a positive report...should we ever put ours to use. <br /><br />Glad to hear about your trips this summer, you've had some nice ones!Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348278507505143679.post-4081335584596415172011-08-12T07:52:19.107-07:002011-08-12T07:52:19.107-07:00Sounds like a great time.

I can't believe that the road just opened up. And here, we are looking at Fall already.<br /><br />Is that some sort of fabric insulation on the cooking pot? Doesn't it melt or is the heat controlled enough to stay away from the insulation? I've heard about the Jetboil but haven't seen them before nor known anyone that had one.<br /><br />It looks and sounds like a great trip...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
