We grabbed the Airstream and came out to Stub Stewart State Park yesterday afternoon to meet up with some friends. After stopping at Trader Joe’s, Camping World, and suffering the world’s longest wait for propane at the nearby Pilot (they’re not usually that bad), we were on our way and…

I picked up a couple of these vintage 50s redwood and aluminum deck chairs the other day (via ebay!) for the deck at our house. Now we just need a little table and some hanging flowers and we'll be all set for sipping coffee out there in the mornings (or…

After we left Detroit Lake we met up with Tiffani and Deke over at Walton Lake Campground in the Ochoco National Forest in Central Oregon. This is a gorgeous little lake with campsites on both sides. There are no hookups (and only a tiny bit of Verizon service). We arrived…

Well aren't these nice? Kinda high end for camping, but still worth ooohing and ahhing over, don't you think? This is the Martin Safari Chair in Leather, from Lewis Drake British Campaign Furniture, $695. Durable buffalo hide leather seat with reinforced corners quickly slips over the frame. Weighs only 13 pounds and…
