Hi everyone~ I’ve never been in a “chat room” before (is this considered a “chat room”?), but I would like to hear from some of you about my question. I have a 2000 Honda Civic with 167,000 miles on it. I bought it used about 4 years ago. Next spring I’d like to take off for some camping and I’m…

Hi all…thanks for the ideas. Back in '99-'01 I had a van with a bed in the back and put in book shelves, a small cabinet, had a porta-potty, camp stove and small heater…even took some plants with me and had pictures on the walls. It was totally my home. I traveled and lived in it for nearly two y…

One option would be to see if there are state parks with cabins to rent where you’re going. Texas state parks have some. Cheaper than a hotel, better than a tent.

State parks can be great places to camp in a tent as well, especially on a tight budget. I should warn you though to not make reservations unless you’re going on a holiday weekend. At many state parks, you can’t change or cancel your reservation.

I just completed a 6897 mile trip to 13 National Parks from the Arch in SL to the sequoias in CA as well as the Crazy Horse memorial in SD. The Crazy Horse Memorial is a private park, not part of the National Park service. BTW, if you are over 62, get a Senior Pass, it costs $10 and it gets you an…

@keith Wow, that was quite a trip. I haven’t been out that way for quite a while and was thinking it might be fun again. Last time though I didn’t fare too well in the high altitudes.

@keith I’ll go a little off-topic here I’m glad to hear that you rescued those cats As for myself, I don’t exactly have a rescue cat. My cat was born at work (cat colony) and I took her home when she was 4 weeks old, because she may not have survived. It was more expensive than getting a cat fr…

@keith , I went by Crazy Horse a couple weeks ago on a 5300 mile road trip. We got there too early and it was fogged in, a day behind schedule so we couldn’t hang around.

The only thing I’d like to add to @Keith ’s advice is that when you camp in a Walmart parking lot, you should make sure the manager is okay with it and make sure the local ordinances don’t forbid it. When a local ordinance forbids camping in a Walmart parking lot, there will be signs that read, “no …

@kieth Amazing and well thought out. This is one great example where a smart phone would be a great investment too IMHO. Keeping in touch with loved ones ( and others ) is a must.

I'm determined to make this trip....I just don't know how.

Why not just throw a tent in the trunk?
