Cave Lake State Park
There is a group of people at work that are going camping and fishing this weekend to Cave Lake State Park. I had never heard of it before, so I did a little research, and it to is on my list of must go places as soon as we can get back out in the wilderness.
Cave Lake sits 15 miles southeast of Ely, Nevada. The 32-acre reservoir at Cave Lake State Park is popular for trout fishing, crawdadding, boating, hiking, picnicking and camping. Sounds just like our kind of place! I dug around on Flickr and found some pictures to share.

It’s just beautiful, and I am jealous that they are going. If I had worked here back when they planned it, I’m sure we’d be going with them. At least now I know who the campers are here, and we can plan some more trips in the future.
Wysi Wipe
I just have to tell you about this cool product I came across on the internet. I got a free sample in the mail, and I’m telling you, I was really impressed. Wysi Wipe is a compressed towelette that requires water to expand. They are 100% natural, and biodegradable. They are small and compact and perfect to take camping and hiking, as they take up less than an inch of your pack, and weigh only 2 grams.
Not only camping and hiking, but they are so handy you can take them in your car, diaper bag, purse, anywhere that you may need a wipe to clean up spills, and messy faces or hands. You can check out the Wysi Wipe site for ordering information, and to see videos of them in action, but I thought I would make my own, to show you that they REALLY WORK!
I’m impressed! The Wysi Wipes should be in everyone’s backpack!

A really useful firstaid kit should always be accessible for health emergencies around your workplace, residence, or on road for traveling purposes. This firstaid kit should have appropriate antibiotics and antiseptic in it. The really good firstaid kits should contain cold pack to reduce emergency arthritis pain and muscles aches.

Wheeler Peak Campground
I just reading on this site that Wheeler Peak Campground is ranked the number one campsite in the state of Nevada.
Spectacular! Drive up the scenic Wheeler Peak Drive and step into another facet of Nevada. You start in semi-desert areas with sagebrush, piñon pines and junipers. Keep climbing and they give way to spruce and Douglas fir. Up top it is extremely beautiful with quaking aspen, limber pine and spruce intermingling in a dense forest, uncharacteristic of Nevada. This whole mountain looks as if it were transplanted out of Colorado somewhere.
Now doesn’t that sound awesome? I searched around and found some pictures also.
This definitely looks like a campground that we have to add to our list of trips.

Storage Containers
Oh I found another piece of camping equipment that I don’t think I would have any use for, but I guess some people might? It’s a small locking, waterproof box for jewelry. Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t wear jewelry while camping. I mean I have my rings on, but I don’t ever take them off, so I’m just not sure about this product. Do you wear jewelry camping? I guess Paris Hilton would.
Camping Kitchen Suppy Storage
I was making a list of the equipment that we need for camping. It seems like every time we are out on a trip, there is something that we say we need next time. So I started this list that we can take to REI next time we go. One of the things that I want is a kitchen stowaway cabinet. They are rugged boxes with sturdy cabinet hardware, where you can keep all your kitchen supplies in one safe place, and away from the bears!
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.
