Before we get into bad campground behavior, we answer the week's emails. | | (March 11, 2016) - There is no doubt one of the great things about the Acadian region of Louisiana is the delicious food made in the area. Acadiana is known for its Cajun styled food and for the great fresh seafood. Some folks often lump Cajun food with Creole style food despite the quite different styles. | | (March 11, 2016) - Have you ever heard someone refer to their "bucket list"? It is a phrase that has become ubiquitous in the past 10 years from everyday life to Hollywood movies to the travel and tourism industry.

This week we present Part One, sharing all of our favorite new goodies for the inside of the camper. Decorative pillows, appliances, and books...if it promises to make the RV experience a little easier, prettier, or more educational, we tracked it down over the long, cold winter. | | (March 11, 2016) - I'm kind of fascinated by the tiny house movement because they're cute. But if they're on wheels, I really don't see why people don't just buy a trailer (I guess toxic building materials may be an issue). What is the resource impact of a tiny house when they don't have to meet basic energy codes for insulation, windows, etc.? | | (March 11, 2016) - Take this past weekend, for instance. I thought I'd do a good deed by taking my daughter Heather and my wife Regina on a weekend camping trip to the mountains. Of course I had a "minuscule" ulterior motive, however, and that was to take my small pop-up camper to the Kiamichi Mountains of southeast Oklahoma and leave it for a scheduled turkey hunt there in April. It's on private land, so it should be safe. Or so I once thought! |
