This was one of my first posts about preparing for your camping trip. I wanted to re-release it because I feel there is a lot of good stuff in it. I have learned so much more now so I may have to rewrite it but here it is: Preparing for the trip!

So you’ve decided you want to go camping but you don’t know where to begin?!! The most important part about your trip is where you are going and who you are going with! First, take into consideration the weather. If you are going somewhere hot is there shade or a river? If its cold can you build a camp fire? I also like to look at the pattern of weather one week ahead of time. In Southern California you can have it be 90 degrees one day and tomorrow its 60 degrees- I know 60 degrees isn’t cold for any one else in the United States but for Southern California it is!

While camping at Cuyamaca in the snow, I attempt to start a fire with a flint and knife. I think the cold weather was a huge factor!

If any of you saw my Snow Camping blog, let me say this: camping with snow on the ground and camping while its snowing are two totally different things!! This trip this past weekend was the most challenging, yet epic, camping weekend! I didn’t even listen to some of my snow camping quick tips (shame on me) but I learned a whole lot more on how to prepare for real snow camping! Here are the highlights of our trip: Continue reading →

This weekend we did an impromptu camping trip to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park at Paso Picacho. San Diego’s mountains were hit with a good amount of snow last week so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity! Unfortunately, we under-estimated how much snow might be there! It’s 5,000 feet elevation so you can only imagine! We got there around 8:30 PM and the grounds were covered- if we drove my little Huyndai, we wouldn’t have been able to get into the spots because snow was piled so high!

Where should I go next?

As you may know, I have a hefty camping bucket list that needs to be squared away ASAP! Please help me decide where I should go first! Either cast your vote or shoot me a comment! Between the 5 locations, please choose 1 of 4 (because we are going to Kaua’i in July so hopefully we can tackle Waimea Canyon then!):

Thanks for your help!
