Just off exit 329 of I-80, it’s beautiful and a bargain at$10/night.
Bring firewood for a nice big campfire, and some shoes for a niceafternoon hike.
There are vault toilets and one water faucet. What else do you need?-vedauwoogirlchelle

BACK ROAD BRATS
There’s nothing like cooking on-the-go. We’re on another cross country trip and were in the mood for some tasty brats! We cut up an onion and double wrapped it in foil with our favorite sausages and let them cook for 90 minutes in our 12 volt RoadPro cigarette lighter stove. They were so good that we can’t stop talking about them! We bought the stove for $29 at a truck stop, several years ago, and have used it to make lasagne, roasted chicken, salsa chicken, hotdogs, baked potatoes, saffron Basmati rice, ribs, and various other crockpot recipes.
It’s a handy gadget for the committed road warrior!-bratbreathchelle

Table of Contents Has Been Fixed! I noticed, this evening, that the Table of Contents had stopped working! I’m sorry if that caused you any problems but I have remedied the situation. I’m not sure what Tumblr changed but I resaved the page and it started working, again. Thanks for stopping by!-Chelle

RETURN VISIT TO VEDAUWOO CAMPGROUND Whenever we drive through Wyoming we try to spend at least a night in this beautiful campground located in the Medicine Bow National Forest. Located just off exit 329 of I-80, it’s convenient and absolutelylovely.
I’ve written a more thorough review, previously, that can be found in the table of contents, but everything is still about the same. The cost is $10/night. Some flies during the day and virtually no insect activity at night. Clean vault toilets are a plus. We noticed that the water spigot is no longer working. We didn’t investigate to see if there was another one available because we always travel with plenty of our own water. At 8300 ft elevation it offers comfortable sleeping temperatures, even in the summer. Put this one on your list and bring your hiking gear for the scenic trails! -oneofmyfavoriteschellePosted 4 years ago

CAMPING NEAR ARCHES NATIONAL PARK (GOLD BAR RECREATION AREA) Primitive camping doesn’t have to mean that you give up life’s luxuries. Our campsite near Moab included this outhouse with a view ofthe stars.
Back home, in Georgia, we’d call this a “Redneck Planetarium.” For the record: This BLM campground was so mosquito infested that we have vowed never to return. While we were there we found other campgrounds that seemed to have far fewer bugs.-stargazerchelle

REPURPOSING A CANOE CARRIER We have an easy-loading canoe carrier that normally attaches to the hitch ball. It’s a T-bar and the top of the T swivels so that one person can set the end of a canoe on it and then pick up the other end and walk it around to the front of the vehicle. It’s a neat invention and it allows one person to load a canoe or kayak on top of their vehicle, by themself. When we carry our Porta-Bote I find myself wishing that we didn’t have so much overhang on each end. By repurposing our canoe carrier and bolting it to the Hitch-Haul shelf I’m able to do the following: 1) firmly attach the front and rear of the boat to the vehicle. 2) carry the outboard motor on the shelf. 3) open the hatch enough to use the DAC Explorer 2 tailgate tent whenwe stop each night.
It’s something you can consider when you’re trying to transport the roof loaded watercraft of your choice. -feelingsecurechellePosted 4 years ago

POOR MAN’S TAILGATE TENT If a tailgate tent isn’t in your budget then this could be anoption, instead.
Use spring clamps to hold a tarp to the tailgate and then use bungee cords and stakes to attach to the wheel wells and ground. While it doesn’t offer any additional airflow it does have several uses for a minivan camper: 1) It’s a quick and easy shower room. I filled a pump-up garden sprayer with warm water and took a leisurely shower while camping at a crowded bluegrass festival. 2) It’s a great changing room for those who aren’t limber enough to get dressed while laying on the bed in the van. 3) You can place a potty bucket inside and not have to leave the van, at night, when nature calls. 4) It’s a convenient place to quickly stash your camping gear whenit starts raining.
5) You can place a cot in there and sleep an extra person.Enjoy!

I’m Here, I’m Here! Thank you for all the wonderful emails you’ve been sending. No, I haven’t fallen off the end of the earth, but we sure have been busy! I have so many campground reviews in my draft folder that I don’t even know where to start. I’m at the point where I just look at them, sigh, and go pour a glass of wine. So what have we been doing? Camping, of course! We’ve been on so many adventures– in fact, we’ve camped one to four times per month over the past year. We’ve attended bluegrass festivals, camped in the high desert in New Mexico, camped our way to Utah and back, camped in Key West a few times, New Orleans a time or two, Illinois, North Carolina, North Georgia– you name it! We’ve also embarked on a new adventure that will take a little (but not too much) time away from camping. We purchased a sailboat! Neither one of us knows how to sail but we have friends who are going to teachus.
The main reason we purchased it was to use it as a floating condo in a popular tourist destination that still allows free offshore mooring. We paid $1,500 to have a helix (think “giant corkscrew”) screwed into the seabed with a chain that connects it to a mooring buoy, and we’re going to leave our sailboat attached to it to use as a vacation home, of sorts. Basically, it’ll be “camping on the water.” We’ll use a dinghy to putt-putt out to the boat. A good friend of ours lives on a huge yacht, full time, and he’s our “next moor neighbor,” so he’ll keep an eye on things for us. We’re going to use a solar panel and a backup generator for power. If we spend a lot of time there, in the heat of the summer, we might rent a slip at the nearby marina (300 yards away) and crank the air conditioner, on occasion. Since we’re both minimalists, we’re hoping to get by without the a/c and with just the solar panel. (It always seems to be nice andbreezy, there.)
It’s not a very large boat, but the cabin is about as big as our pop-up camper so we should do just fine. I have so much to write about. I promise to do better! -gettingmysealegschellePosted 4 years ago

Why Porta-Bote Might Be The Perfect Camping Boat We’ve all been there– you find the perfect camp spot and laid out, before you, is a beautiful body of water that you’d love to be ableto get out on.
But you’re a minimalist. You like to pack light. That’s why you camp in your minivan, in the first place. But what if you could fold up a boat to the size of a surfboard and throw it on top of your vehicle and just forget about it until youneeded it?
That’s where the Porta-Bote comes in. It’s made of polypropylene– the same stuff that the bumper of your car is made of– and it can take a beating. We had been admiring the latest generation of folding boats at portabote.com, but the price of a new one was out of our reach. After reading in a number of online forums about how long these things last, however, we started looking for a used one. The only downside to finding a used Porta-Bote is that people rarely sell them– so there aren’t very many out there. We persevered, however, and found a 25 year old model (yes, it was built in 1989!) for only $370. We raced over to the guy who was selling it and instantly made it ours. Early models, like ours, are limited to smaller motors than the newer ones, but the 2hp Honda outboard that we put on ours is all we need: I’ve read that people are able to plane out early models, like ours, but we were content to putt-putt around on ¼ throttle at 5mph. Later models have sturdier transoms and can handle larger motors. They’re quite easy to plane out, I’m told. If you’re young and like to go fast then you’d probably be happier with a newer, priciermodel.
Here’s a pic of our boat, without a motor mounted, in our back yard: When we go camping we don’t necessarily always take the motor with us. Even though it only weights 28 pounds and has an internal gas tank that allows us to not have to deal with an external tank, we tend to use every square inch when we pack for a trip. As often as not we’ll simply slide a pair of oars up underneath the center of the bed and just row it when we reach our destination. (It rows easily and comes with built-in oar locks.) Here’s the amazing part, to me: Do you see that? It looks like a surfboard, on top of our van. And it behaves nicely up there. In fact, we’ll be taking it to Bear Lake, in Utah, this summer. From Georgia. Sure, you could get a small boat and a trailer and take them with you when you travel. We oftentimes get on some pretty awful back roads, though, and prefer not to have to worry about what’s hitched to the back– plus it’s two more tires and sets of wheel bearings tomaintain.
If you like to have a boat handy, when you camp, and an inflatable boat or trailered boat isn’t right for you, you might want to consider a folding boat, instead. I know what you’re wondering: “Does it leak? Is it completely waterproof?” The answer is that it is, in fact, completely waterproof. When we use our boat not a single drop comes in. Note: No need to email me about the lack of numbers on our boat! I Photoshopped them out for the purposes of this post. Incredibly, this boat easily sets up in less than five minutes. There are plenty of YouTube videos that will demonstrate this fact. We set ours up in 4-½ real-world, honest to goodness minutes (not including the motor, which adds another 5 minutes). Now you know why we love ours so much! We call it our “origamiboat.”

Stealth Camping Toilet We’ve been camping more at the extremes, lately. We either take the pop-up camper and screened house and tacky lights and set up an over-the-top camping nest at a state park that has electricity and hot showers– or we stealth camp with the barest ofessentials.
That’s been a far cry from our usual fully-self-contained-ready-for-anything-off-the-grid minivan campingstyle.
As you probably already know, “stealth camping” is when you secretly camp in plain sight. To the casual observer you look like just another parked car. The biggest challenge, however, comes when you have to use the potty in the middle of the night. If you exit the van you could inadvertently draw unwanted attention to yourself. Of course there are reusable plastic porta-johns with special attachments, for women, that are more than sufficient for taking care of overnight bathroom needs. Personally, though, I’m not too big on rinsing out containers that have had pee in them. So what’s a stealth camper to do? It’s simple! Just fill some zip lock bags about halfway with kitty litter and you’re ready to go! I’ll let you decide if you prefer the quart or gallon size, but you’ll be rather surprised to see how female-friendly this methodis!
The best part is that you can zip and toss after it’s been used. Even though the process is fairly intuitive I would still recommend practicing in the shower, once, before trying it in your van. We’re getting ready to leave on a minimalist camping trip, as I type this. All the gear we’re taking would easily fit into a hiker’s backpack– including coffee supplies. And our 5 gallon potty bucket will be staying home, on this trip, because we’ll be taking zip locks and kitty litter. -happyandrelievedchellePosted 5 years ago
