Garden was lush and plentiful, I miss it. But now were in the clammy season of moss and mold. "a time for every purpose under heaven"
But I canned about 40 jars of tomatoes and have some blackberry wine ready to bottle at least.

Interesting blog whc03grady. So it is true about camping in Wal-Mart parking lots. Does Ludwig have a furnace?

Those are great camping shots, Westy78. Makes me hunger for spring when I can finally get my bus on the road.

You show the mark of a real pro: leveling blocks.

No way, flannel was invented for grunge rock!

edit- darn... I didn't mean to just post a smart aleck comment without contributing... I thought I had some of my favorite camping photos in my gallery here, but I guess I don't. Sorry.

We love it too. There seems to be no shortage of it in Montana.

No, but our Coleman catalytic heater can get it pretty tolerable even when it's in the teens outside (another person helps too, of course).

Thanks, so do we. We're thinking of driving him to Deschutes next year--with our first kid in tow. Is a Father's Day campout in the works?

Thanks. Hope you can make it down this way sometime. That bus of yours needs a good road trip after all these years!

It took a couple of years waking up with either a headache because my head was lower than my feet or cramped up against one side of the bus because of a tilt that finally forced the addition of leveling blocks to the supply list. Much easier than trying to pile up rocks to drive up on. Wish they weren't so, orange though. Kind of takes the "natural" out of a nice camping scene. I need to try some brown vinyl paint on them to tone them down a bit.

I like the website, pretty cool and a good way to document things for the little one when he grows up.

nice pix everyone.

It looks like everyone is enjoying being wherever it is they are being.

There is an odd satisfaction at seeing others...uh..dare i say it..worshipping the bus...
there... I said it.

I, too, have a desire to see how my rig looks against a backdrop of flora and, sometimes, fauna.

I love how the simple 'bus-in-nature' shot evokes such melancholic longing for getting out.
