Spring Is Coming – I Swear!

It’s almost here – really – I mean it!  Spring.  Warmth.  Birds.  Outside.  CAMPING!

If you are like us, and live in a climate with four distintly textbook seasons, you’re ready to get out of the house.

I’m sick of winter.  I’m sick of snow.  I’m sick of ice.  I haven’t seen the grass in three months.  Now, FINALLY, it’s going to be 63 degrees tomorrow!  That, added to the 40s and 50s we’ve had the last few days, has melted almost all the snow.  The rest should disappear in the next few days.

I’m hearing birds.  They’re starting to build nests.  Today I saw a chipmunk cross the street.  I bet they’re happy too!

I’m starting to plan our big three camping trips this year – Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Fourth of July weekends.  Book early – the full hookup sites go fast.

This year I am going to start researching new campgrounds to try.  Every year we visit our favorites, but I’d like to try some new ones.  I’ve found the following books helpful.
