The Perfect Coffee

How to Make the Perfect Cup of Coffee

We had never been to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park until this weekend. I can say we are definitely coming back! It was beautiful!! Our campsite was at the top of a hill so we had an amazing view of the valley. There are several trails to go hiking but due to a recent knee surgery, it seemed I was extremely limited! However, I am always up for a challenge and accompanied my friends on an unintended hike where we Continue reading

This weekend is going to be a fun one! My friends and I are heading into the mountains in east San Diego.

If any guys read this I don’t want to gross them out so just hit the “like” Continue reading

  • Blog about something you love to do or talk about! Don’t blog about something just because its popular- or not popular and you are trying to find the niche! Just blog about what you love! (I love camping and the outdoors)

Backcountry Betty- Roughing it in style Jennifer Worick

Backcountry Betty: Roughing It in Style by Jennifer Worick

This is a great book if you are looking to read up on some girly camping! Backcountry Betty is funny and tackles real problems like camping cocktails and beauty products that double as survival weapons! My one issue with this book… and every girly camping book: when putting together the ultimate camping outfit, why does she always have cargo shorts on?! Always! It never fails! I am making a statement right Continue reading

Fire Safety

– When setting up camp, look at the regulations for fire building. Some areas prohibit it – and its for a reason!

– If it doesn’t prohibit fire building, be aware of the weather- is it dry and hot? Maybe you should try to go without the fire!

– If you are building, make sure it is 15 feet away from tents, trees, shrubs, and Continue reading
