Okay, found Mile High without difficulty -- looks like a great place. But I see Panther Creek campgrounds in both Georgia and Tennessee. I'd like to know details when they become available. Shoot -- a look at the calendar tells me that I may be running up and down the road the last...

Panther Creek? Mile High? I don't know these places -- of course, I can google them. A "dutch oven gathering" would interest me. And the end of July'll be our wedding anniversary -- a good time for a weekend getaway. Coming from a family that's never thrown anything away, I have a large...

Re: Brand new 560 Ultra for sale I know our camping habits -- Boondocking isn't something that excites us. I think I'd rather keep the electric skillet and similar items in the "first string" storage areas . . . and on the rare occasion that I'm not going where electricity lives, then I can...

I love these! I like things that look neat and organized -- a place for everything and everything in its place. Disclaimer, nothing to do with camping: This does not apply to my mess of a laundry room /pantry.

Mick-and-Sarah, We'll look for that sandwich shop when we're there again! Sounds much better than used-to-be-a-bank place. We stayed at the Holiday Inn across from the Flintstones' campground. It looked like a hoot! Dave S, I'm not a bit surprised that you saw more buffalo in Custer...

Hilditch -- Know what's perfect for pre-measuring cornbread mix or other dry ingredients for camping? Those little plastic containers in which pre-sweetened Kool-aid is purchased. They're small, they have a measuring cup in the lid, and they're sturdy enough to wash and re-wash. We don't use...

Great detail about the hinges. I'm sure that -- since they're a cabinet -- they'd get crumbs and such in them.

A built-in paper towel holder would be a nice thing to add as a "standard". I've been studying pictures of people's Camp Inn kitchens, and I don't think I've seen one yet that didn't have a paper towel roll above the "sink side" OR a roll of paper towels sitting on one of the shelves. It's...

Re: Brand new 560 Ultra for sale LadyMc, You and I are alike in our love of electricity -- shoot, I even married a man who's responsible for making it! I'm thinking of making a REALLY GOOD QUALITY electric skillet as my mainstay. You can bake in those, though obviously you're limited to a...

I like those stainless steel cafeteria trays. Good price too. Don't believe anything that says "up in one minute". Back in college, I used to work for a high-end camping store, and -- at that point in my life -- I really could pop a tent up for a customer in minutes, BUT I was doing it...

I promise -- you will not be disappointed with a visit to Custer State Park! I was there in July, so I saw summer weather, but I suspect it'd be equally nice in spring or fall. I personally perfer to stay indoors in real winter. I stayed in the nearby town of Custer, and that was a...

I've been lucky enough to visit Yellowstone twice. What a wonderful place it is. It's absolutely on our "gotta go again" list. As for South Dakota, if you're in that area again, try to visit Custer State Park. Rivaling the national parks, it's quite a destination, and its claim to fame is...

Hmmm . . . the hot water pot looks pretty cool, though you'd have to boil the water in something else before it'd stay hot all day. That'd be a bit of a drag. I think I might prefer just to have an electric hot pot and boil when I need it. Reviews on the Xpress Ready Go are bad (on the...

Technology is amazing! Ten or twenty years ago I read something that said my generation (I was born late 60s) would see more changes than our grandparents did. I thought, NO WAY! My grandmother (97 years old, still in amazingly good health for her age) was born in essentially a shack...

I already own a "regular house electricity" electric mattress pad. We don't use it anymore since our new house came with a king-sized bed (new house, I say, as if we haven't lived here 10 years), but I saved the old mattress pad because it was expensive, and we figured we might one day have a...

See, that's why we're not getting the heater. If it's cold enough that you can't comfortably be outside, I'm going to stay home! I know we won't be out in weather where we'd need more than a touch of middle-of-the-night heat. I sooooo belong here in the South!

I started thinking extra outlets when I realized my electric mattress pad uses two outlets. Living in the South, we wouldn't need a furnace but would probably want a bit of supplemental heat occasionally . . . And that would take up ALL the "indoor outlets".

Bear, you've expressed my opinion perhaps better than I did: A Camp Inn may enhance your life, but if your bottom line is to save money during travel, you can do it in better ways. If you use it frequently, it may be a great value and give your family years of enjoyment, but it'll cost more...

I didn't mean to imply that I think the beds are uncomfortable -- after all, I have no personal knowledge on the subject YET -- but I meant that the bed is the most important item to me, and that's the single thing I'd want to be sure was PERFECT. On second thought, since Betsey says it's...

Cary -- you explain things very clearly! And that's coming from a language teacher. One more question about power: Is it possible (advisable?) to put in more outlets? Y'all better listen to Betsey about getting the Camp Inn dog with the full warranty and all the features. I didn't, and...
