Wool Camping Blankets
Don’t you just love the warmth of a wool blanket? We have two that we take camping that I usually end up putting underneath me just to keep the cold from coming up through the ground. We bought a new one last year, and we’ve used it about 5 times, so today I decided I should wash it.
I guess reading the tag that said “dry clean only” should have been my first step.
I’ve got it in the dryer on low, and I am cleaning out the lint trap every 3-5 minutes. The blanket itself looks okay though, despite the fact it’s losing it’s material at a very fast pace. LOL!

Camping Hump
The mandatory humping picture of all camping trips? I think he was helping me up out of the tent, but to me it looks like he was getting a hump in. LOL!
Campsite Picture of the Day
One place we’ve never been camping is Red Rock Canyon State Park, but we want to. I was searching for images, and found this one. It looks like a great place to camp, and we’ll be heading that way soon!
This comes from tsallam’s Flickr stream.

Recreational Vehicles Can Be Cool Also
As much as we love our tent camping, we can’t help but think what it would be like to own a camper. As you may have noticed in the pictures I posted earlier today, there were several different styles of campers in our camping group. Now that the weather is getting nicer, maybe it’s a good idea to start looking at Recreational vehicles, Spring is a good time to buy them for sure. It was sure nice to have bathroom to use while we were out on the dry lake bed. We talked a little about what kind we would buy, and we think we would get a pop-up style, just because they are almost exactly like a tent, but with a potty.
We are two people who love to go camping and hiking. We love the outdoors, and we are working on becoming as green as we can be.
