There seems to be no set rule on how I cook in this little space. Originally, I thought I wouldn’t use the inside kitchen much — lingering odors, confined spaces, etc.–but experience has changed all that. Our latest trip, for example, was a 2+ week survey of Colorado’s mountains and parks. We picked up […]
It’s been a crazy few weeks with very little Internet connection but lots of connection to nature. Travelling in our little Egg (and just travelling domestically in general) always fills us with a vast well of gratitude for the beauty and richness of this land and her people. We have so much to cherish in […]
Our style of camping might be a bit different than most. We, generally, look for small out-of-the-way places to camp that are near quirky and historic sites. Our preference is to find a place where few camp so we can enjoy the forests and the solitude. Most of our trips are 4 day weekends at […]
This the season for mosquitos, annoying gnats and ticks. Arggggh! Because DEET can’t be used on skin safely, We have been using a blend of essential oils that we find very effective–as long as we re-apply about every two hours in heavy bug season. For the Mosquitos and ticks I mix the following ingredients in […]
We use the king-sized bed configuration in our Independence model and sleep with our heads near the opening for ease of exit. We have a super comfy princess and the pea thing going on because we put a 3″ 4 lb density heavy foam topper over the Casita foam cushions. Upon opening up the mattress, […]
Oh my, the mild Winter has allowed a flourishing of itsy bitsy seed ticks this Spring. Traveling with a Corgi and a Bassador, we are in an unending battle with the tiny terrors. Even with their monthly flea and tick repellent and some wonderful Cedar Oil spray, we always have our work cut out for […]
Have you ever pondered the beauty of clover? Have you watched the wind push the tall flowers, challenging the bees to keep up? How many times have you wished for a four leaf clover? Elusive and magical. Did you know that in Spring, young clover is edible? A gift as plentiful as dandelion leaves and […]
We enjoy taking the back roads when we can–and when Garmin inexplicably sends us there. It’s on the smaller roads that you wind through pretty farmland, small towns and unusual sights while traveling the Casita recommended 50-60 mph. It is nice not to have to watch the fast lane pass you by. But, I digress. […]
Since park tables can vary from 6″ to 10′ it’s tough to find a pre-made cloth. I designed this style and made one each in our Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter colors. Using Sunbrella, you can just wipe off stains easily. Any stubborn stain will almost always come off with a little soap and water. I haven’t […]
